Derby Museum at Liverpool. It was purchased from Mr. Cu¬ 
ming by the late Lord Derby in 1846, and is labelled “ Bolivia;” 
but the skin has every appearance of being of the Bogotan make. 
This species may be easily distinguished from the following, with 
which it has been sometimes confounded, by the broad blue 
moustaches which descend on each side of the throat, and are 
united below the red chin by a narrow blue throat-band. In 
Capito tschudii, the sides of the face between the head and the 
throat are yellow.

This bird was originally received in collections from Bogota. 
Examples of it were likewise contained in Mr. Gould’s collection 
from the Ecuadorian province of Quixos on the Rio Napo, of 
which I gave a list in Proc. Zool. Soc. for 1854 (p. 109). Mr. 
Eraser has more recently obtained specimens of it, of slightly
