Show 572 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON [May 23, 35. ARREMON SILENS (Bodd.). Capim River, June 1849. 36. SALTATOR MAGNUS (Gm.). Para, February and May 1849. 37. SALTATOR MUTUS, Licht. Mexiana, Nov. 1848 and Jan. 1849. A young specimen has a strong olivaceous tinge on the back, wing-edgings, and breast. Tanagra superciliaris, Spix, is probably the same bird, though very indifferently figured. 38. PlTYLUS ERYTHROMELAS (Gm.). Capim River, June 1849. 39. PITYLUS VIRIDIS (Vieill.). Para. Represented in the Brazilian wood-region by P. brasiliensis. Fam. FRINGILLIDA. 40. ORYZOBORUS TORRIDUS (Gm.). Para, Oct. 1848. 41. SPERMOPHILA LINEATA (Gm.). Para, Oct. 1848 ; Mexiana, Jan. 1849 ; Amazons (north side). 42. SPERMOPHILA LINEOLA (Linn.). Mexiana, Tocantins, and Amazons (north side). The male shows less white on the rump than a Cayenne skin in Sclater's collection, and no white crown-spot. In this stage it more resembles <S. bouvronides (Less.) in Sclater's collection, which, however, is probably merely a variety of the same species. 43. SPERMOPHILA GUTTURALIS, Licht. Para, Oct. 1848. 44. VOLATINIA JACARINA (Linn.). Barra and Guia. 45. PAROARIA GULARIS (Linn.). Mexiana. "Very common all about Para, on the banks of the rivers."-A.W. 46. COTURNICULUS MANIMBE (Licht.). Mexiana. 47. EMBERIZOIDES MACROURUS (Gm.). Mexiana, Dec. 1848. Rather larger than the Cayenne bird, and wings more olivaceous |
