In Sclater's collection from the Capim River (Wallace). - 25. TANAGRA EPISCOPUS, Linn. Para, Aug. 1848. 26. TANAGRA PALMARUM, Max. Mexiana, Dec. 1848. 27. RAMPHOCOSLUS NIGRIGULARIS (Spix). Middle Amazons, 1850. In Sclater's collection from Barra (Wallace). " This Tanager is found only on the right bank of the Rio Negro, and is never known to cross the river to the Cayenne side. It is found on both banks of the Upper Amazons above Barra."-A. W. 28. RAMPHOCOSLUS JACAPA (Linn.). Mexiana and Para. " One of the commonest birds in gardens at Para, and generally in the Lower-Amazons district."-A. W . 29. EUCOMETIS PENICILLATA (Spix). Mexiana, Dec. 1848. Sclater's specimens referred to E. albicollis are not different from the present bird, whatever Pyranga albicollis, Lafr. et D'Orb., mav be. It occurs also on the Ucayali (Bartlett) and Napo (Mus. P. L. S.), and may therefore probably extend into the wood-region of Bolivia. 30. TACHYPHONUS MELALEUCUS (Sparrm.). Para, and Tocantins River. 31. TACHYPHONUS SURINAMUS (Linn.). Para, March and May 1849. In Sclater's collection from Guia, Rio Negro, but here slightly different, and probably the same as Mr. Lawrence's T. napensis, Ann. L. N. Y. vii. (June 1864). 32. TACHYPHONUS CRISTATUS (Gm.). Para, May 1849. Agrees with Brazilian specimens. 33. TACHYPHONUS CRISTATELLUS, Sclater. One skin from Guia, Rio Negro, agrees nearly with the type of this species from Bogota, except in rather smaller size. We have not been able to compare it with Cayenne skins; but the probability is that the latter also belong to this form. 34. NEMOSIA PILEATA (Bodd.). Para, Jan. 1849. |
