C O N I R O S T R U M , sp. inc. A single skin of what is probably the female of a new Conirostrum, allied to C. albifrons or possibly of a new Dacnis. 7. EUPHONIA, sp. inc. Two skins of the female of a thick-billed Euphonia of the group allied to E. violacea, probably of E. laniirostris (Lafr. et d'Orb.). 30. ELAINEA PLACENS, Sclater. This brings the range of this species down to Peru. We have compared skins from Mexico, Guatemala, Veragua, Panama, Bogota, and Ecuador. The last-named (E. implacens, Sclater, olim) agree with the Peruvian in being rather darker on the back ; but a Bogota skin is barely different in this respect from Sclater's Mexican type. 32. SUBLEGATUS GRISEOCULARIS. This Tyrant bird, of which Mr. Whitely sends a pair from Maranura, is very closely allied to the Venezuelan $. glaber, but is recognizable by its shorter smaller bill, shorter crest, and the paler colour of the back. Sclater's collection contains a single immature example of the same form from Mendoza (Weisshaupt), labelled "Elainea griseocularis, Landbeck ;" and there is a second skin from the same source in Salvin and Godman's collection. Whether this name has ever been published or not we are not sure; but we adopt it as a designation of this allied species, which is generally of the same form as its northern congener. PROC ZOOL.
