Mr. O. Salvin on Birds 
Besides the species just mentioned Mr. Whitely obtained 
several pairs of Lathria streptophora (Ibis, 1884, p. 448 
pi. 14), the female of which may be described as follows :— 
Lathria streptophora. 
$ mari similis, sed torque cervicali rosaceo nullo, crisso 
pallide castaneo nee rosaceo differt. 
Several pairs of Pipreola whitelyi (Ibis, 1884, p. 449) 
are also in the collection, the male being previously unknown. 
I take this opportunity of describing the male and figuring 
specimens of both sexes of this beautiful bird. 
Pipreola whitelyi. (Plate XII.) 
supra olivaceus,fronte, superciliis et torque cervicali postico 
aurantiacis; subtus cinereus, plaga magna pectorali lsete 
eoccinea utrinque in ochraceum transeunte; crisso rufes- 
eente; alis et cauda nigricanti-fuscis, extus saturate 
ochraceo-brunneo limbatis ; rostro corallino-rubro; 
pedibus pallide rubris. Long, tota 7*0, alse 3*6, caudse 
2*7, rostri a rietu 0*75, tarsi 0*85. 
Hab. Roraima (alt. 6000 ft.), Twek-quay Mt. (alt. 
3000 ft.). 
The male of this fine form turns out to be quite different 
from any species hitherto described, and can be compared 
with advantage with none of them. The ashy under plumage, 
with its distinct scarlet breast-spot, serves to distinguish it 
at once from all its congeners. 
I have also to notice that Mr. Whitely obtained a male of 
the Discura left undetermined in the previous list. It proves 
to be inseparable from the Brazilian D. longicaudata. The 
specimen was shot on the Carimang River. 
It is further necessary to make two corrections in the 
foregoing list. 
Phonipara pumosa, no. 119, turns out to be identical with 
Amaurospiza unicolor of Cabanis, and our specimens are 
inseparable from others from Pernambuco {Forbes). This 
species must therefore stand as follows :—
