Dacnis braziliana, Gray, No. 3; Bp. No. 6, formed from Certhia

laceo; pectore castaneo-purpurascente ; dorgo infimo et uropygio 
oe Violaceo ad chalybis politi colorem vergentibus; rectricibus 
gris oris exterioribus violaceo-chalybeis.—Calendulam crassitié 
non excedit. The description was taken from a bird that was in 
the collection of M. de Reaumur, received from Brazil. I can make

“onwostrum sitticolor. Should this however not be the case, he 
Proposes the name “ vufum,” which will have long precedence 
Over “ . ¢ ’
