Additional Species of Pyrrhura. 673 
breast being pure grey edged with whitish, with no tinge 
whatever of green or bluish colour ; moreover the grey breast 
is sharply defined from the green below, and there is no 
bluish tinge whatever on the forehead. Dr. Reichenow 
(ll. cc.) has described and figured this species under the name 
of P. leucotis. I have called his attention to the probable 
distinctness of the bird described by him, and he writes 
agreeing entirely with my conclusions, adding that the speci¬ 
men in the Berlin Museum had been kept in captivity, and 
there is no clue to its origin. The Turin Museum possesses 
two specimens exactly like Dr. Reiehenow's plate, both of 
which had been kept in confinement by Count Peracca, who 
received them from a dealer ; their exact locality is unknown, 
but I suspect that Guiana is the place where the species may 
be looked for. 
Owing to these additions, the key to the species of the 
genus Pyrrhura printed in the f Catalogue of Birds , must 
be partly altered as follows, so as to include P. chiripepe and 
the newly-described species - 
a. A brown-red patch on the lower back. 
a'. Breast blue, with no transverse bars .. 1. cruentata , p. 213. 
b '. Breast with transverse bars, or scale-like 
appearance. 
a". Breast with transverse bars. 
a"'. Cheeks and pileum green. 
a 4 . Tail green above, more or less 
tinged with reddish towards the 
tip of the rectrices . 2. vittata , p. 214. 
b\ Tail above uniform olive-green. 
a 5 . Bend of the wing green .... 3. chiripepe. 
b 5 . Bend of the wing red . 4. borellii. 
b 1 ". Cheeks maroon, bend of the wing 
red. 
cK Fore-neck and breast bluish- 
green, gradually blending in the 
green colour of the lower parts, 
c 5 . Pileum brown, with a very 
slight tinge of blue near the 
forehead . 5. leucotis, p. 216.
