the Species of the Genus Pipreola. 
^ This beautiful species is, I believe, quite peculiar to the 
forests of Venezuela, where Hr. Goering obtained specimens 
on the Montana of Tereven, near Caripe, and in the vicinity 
of Caracas. It is easily recognized by its black throat and 
! splendid scarlet breast, which passes into the brilliant yellow 
; of the belly. The iris is described by Goering as reddish 
I brown.

I am indebted to Messrs. Salvin and Godman for the privi¬ 
lege of describing and flguring both sexes of this splendid 
species, which I established in 1858 from a single female spe¬ 
cimen belonging to the Derby Museum. 
The bird is a near ally of P. sclateri, but is at once recog¬ 
nizable as distinct by the yellow overspreading the belly, 
by the greater extent of the scarlet neck, and by its much 
larger size. 
Besides the pair above referred to, which were obtained by 
Mr. Buckley in Bolivia, there is a fine male of this species in 
the Museum of Brussels, for an opportunity of examining 
which I am greatly indebted to M. Alphonse Dubois and to 
; the authorities of that Institution. I am informed that there 
I are likewise examples of this bird in the Leiden Museum, 
i and in the collection of Count H. Turati at Milan. 
; The original specimen of my Euchlornis frontalis, for the 
I opportunity of reexamining which I am much indebted to the 
1 courtesy of Mr. T. Moore, curator of the Derby Museum, 
\ Liverpool, is so similar to the female figured, that there can
