Obs. E. granadensi affinis, loris fulvis nec albis distin- 
guendus. 
This species agrees closely with E. granadensis in every 
respect but the colouring of the large loral spot. As the two 
specimens sent agree in having this mark tinged with fulvous, 
I conclude that they belong to a race allied to, but distinct 
from, E. granadensis.

This very well-marked and beautiful species, though quite 
unlike any other member of the genus in its coloration, comes 
perhaps nearer to F. sty'igilata , Max., than any other. The 
conspicuous markings of the head, the white throat, tinged 
with fawn-colour, the black pectoral band, and the deep-chest¬ 
nut breast of the male, as well as other minor features, render 
it a remarkable bird. The collection contains only three spe¬ 
cimens, one male and two females, all from Puna Island.
