452 Mr. E. Newton’s Second Visit to Madagascar. 
ing of the Zoological Society of London held on the 12th May 
last, and proposed to call it after the name of its discoverer. 
Through Mr. Salvin’s kindness, I have now the pleasure of 
giving a figure (Plate XII.) of this species, taken from the typical 
specimen, which will render it easily recognizable. Calliste 
dowii is allied, as Mr. Salvin has stated, to C, nigriviridis of New 
Granada, but separated from it by very trenchant characters, 
such as the rufous belly, black throat, &c., which render it 
easily recognizable on comparison. Mr.' Salvin states that it 
was “ probably obtained from the low forest-region of the 
Atlantic slope of Costa Rica.” 
5. Calliste hartlaubi. Dacnis hartlaubi , Sclater, P. Z. S. 
1854, p. 251; Callispiza hartlaubi , Cab. Journ. f. Orn. 1861, 
p. 88, from New Granada, allied to C. labradorides. 
I have already confessed the error of which I was guilty in 
classifying this bird as a Dacnis (see anted , p. 312), and Dr. Ca- 
banis has pointed out the same in his * Journal f. Ornithologie/ 
/. c. The only examples yet recognized of this species appear to be 
those in the Bremen and Berlin collections.

45. Coracopsis nigra (Linnaeus). 
“ Buoaz.” 
I believe I saw several of this species at Chasmanna, but did 
not obtain a specimen ; they were chasing one another about the 
tops of the tallest trees, at least one hundred feet in height. A 
good many were for sale at Tamatave when we first arrived. I 
did not meet with the larger species, C. vasa. 
46. Poliopsitta cana (Gmelin). 
Vast numbers are brought over yearly to Mauritius. 
47. Centropus tolu (Linnaeus). 
“ Tooloo.” 
More abundant in the neighbourhood of Tamatave and Foule
