by Mr. Buckley, which were obtained by him at a place 
called Yauayaca, in Ecuador. This locality is probably not 
far from Sarayacu, a village on the Bobonassa river, a con¬ 
fluent of the Pastazza. It seems probable, from what Prof. 
Baird says, that the specimen belonging to the Academy of 
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia examined by him also 
appertains to this species. 
The Plate is taken from one of Mr. Buckley’s Ecuador 
specimens.

This species, first obtained by Fraser at Matos, and subse¬ 
quently at Lloa, in Ecuador, has since been sent in considerable 
numbers from that country, and during the last few years 
by Mr. Buckley from San Lucas and Sical. 
On receipt of Fraser’s first specimens, Mr. Sclater deter¬ 
mined them to belong to Raup’s S. ruficoronata, concluding 
he had before him the bird so meagrely described by that 
author. This determination remained unquestioned until 
Prof. Baird wrote his able ^ Review of American Birds,’ the 
non-completion of which must always be a subject of great 
regret. When examining the members of the genus Seto^ 
phaga, Prof. Baird found good reason to doubt the correctness 
of Mr. Sclater’s identification, and added that, should his 
suggestion prove well founded, he was not aware of any pub¬ 
lished name that properly belonged to the bird now under 
consideration.
