assuming its full dress. It is among the commonest species 
of this group, and, as will be noticed from the countries named 
above, has a very extensive dispersion. 
XL .—Description of a new Tanager of the Genus Calliste, and 
Remarks on other recently discovered Species . By P. L. 
Sclater. 
(Plate XII.) 
The illustrated Monograph of the Genus Calliste , which I 
published in 1858, contained figures and descriptions of fifty- 
two species of this brilliant genus of Tanagers. 
In the Catalogue of my American collection, published in 
1862, forty-nine species only were given, five of those recog¬ 
nized in the monograph being then unrepresented in the col¬ 
lection, but two additional species being included, namely 
C. albiventris (united m the monograph to C. brasiliensis) and 
C. cyanotis (discovered subsequently). 
In 1863, in an article published in this journal, “ on Becent 
Additions to the Genus Calliste ” *, I gave an account of the 
discoveries in this group which had been made up to that 
time since the issue of my monograph. 
These were five in number, namely :— 
1. Calliste cyanotis. 4. Calliste dowi. 
2. - lavinia. 5. - hartlaubi. 
3. - frantzii. 
In 1868, in another article published in this journalf, I 
gave a description and figure of Calliste cabanisi , mihi (= C. 
sclateri , Cab. nec Lafr.), and remarked that this was the only 
additional species I had met with since I had published the 
previous article. 
In our f Nomendator Avium Neotropicalium/ published 
in 1873, Mr. Salvin and I acknowledged fifty-six species of 
the genus Calliste, our Calliste florida, described in 1869, 
having been added to the list. We have also lately charac-
