Show 1867.] LIEUT. R. C. BEAVAN ON THE PANOLIA DEER. 759 tis: macula mystacali coccinea: long, tota 12*0, alee 6*0, caudee 4*0, rostri a rictu 1*4. Foem. Macula mystacali nulla. Hab. Peruv. orient. Yurimaguas (Bartlett). W e have already alluded to the existence of this species in our notes on the true Celeus jumana (Spix)*, with which it has hitherto been confounded. It is perhaps, however, strictly more nearly allied to Celeus citrinus than to C. jumana, having the under wings and underside of the primaries entirely unspotted, as in the former species. Sclater has a male specimen of this bird in his collection marked " Celeus citreopygius, Bp. MS.," which we accordingly adopt as its specific name. Malherbe's figure 1 (pl. 55) looks very like the present bird ; but in his figure 3 and letterpress he clearly indicates the barred under surface of the primaries, which does not exist in this speciesf. (180.) UROCHROMA HUETI (Temm.). Psittacus hueti, Temm. Pl. Col. 491. Urochroma hueti, Bp. W e were not previously acquainted with the true habitat of this beautiful species. (189.) MICRASTUR MIRANDOLLII. Astur mirandollei, Schlegel, Ned. Tijdschr. i. p. 130, et Mus. d. P.-B. Astures, p. 27. Micrastur macrorhynchus, Pelzeln, Reise d. Novara-Exp. Vogel, p. 11. A single skin (marked female) from Chyavetas appears referable to this recently described species. Sclater has lately seen in the Musee des Pays-Bas the typical example of Schlegel's Astur mirandollei, and has little doubt of its identity with Pelzeln's Micrastur macrorhynchus, a mounted skin of which, received from the Vienna collection, stands beside it. The present example agrees well with Pelzeln's description. 12. Notes on tbe Panolia Deer or T h a m y n (Cervus eldi). B y Lieut. R. C. B E A V A N , C.M.Z.S. Lieut.-Col. Blake, Commandant 9th Madras Native Infantry, has kindly furnished m e with the following information concerning this Deer :- " As regards the exact localities of the ' Thamyn,' I can only say * Antea, p. 586. t I have examined Malherbe's type-specimens of his C. jumana since the above was written, and found that one of them belongs to the true C. jumana, and the other to C. citreopygius. These specimens are now in the collection of M . Turati of Milan.-P. L. S. |
