The single (male) example is not quite so bright in colour as the typical specimen from Bogota in Sclater's collection. 50. DACNIS EGREGIA, Scl. P.Z.S. 1854, p. 251, et Ibis, 1863, p. 316. r ' * Remedios, Neche. (Mus. S.-G.) 51. DACNIS VENUSTA, Lawr.; Scl. Ibis, 1863, p. 315. Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. Food, fruit. The extension of this species so far south is quite a new fact. Panama and Costa Rica are its previously known localities. Besides these three species of Dacnis, Mr. Salmon sends a single skin from Remedios (Mus. P. L. S.), of what seems to be the female of an unknown member of this genus. 52. CHLOROPHANES ATRICAPILLA (Vieill.). Concordia, Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. Food, fruit &c. 53. COEREBA CERULEA (Linn.). Remedios, Medellin. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. Food, insects. 54. CERTHIOLA MEXICANA, Scl.; Finsch, Verh. z.-b. Ges. in Wien, 1871, p. 772. Remedios, Medellin. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. Food, insects. Eggs (no. 50) dirty white, thickly spotted with red-brown, especially in a zone round the larger end : axis *65, diam. *5. " The nest is made of fine dry grasses; it is oval-shaped, with a side entrance, and generally placed at the extremity of a bough, but not hanging."- T. K. S. Fam. TANAGRIDJS. 55. PROCNIAS TERSA (Linn.). Procnias occidentalis, Scl. P. Z. S. 1854, p. 249, et nobis (passim). Remedios. (Mus. S.-G.) Iris dark. Food, fruit and insects. After comparing a number of specimens of Procnias from different localities, we have come to the conclusion that the grounds for keeping separate the western form are untenable. Salvin has already adopted this view (Ibis, 1879, p. 199). PROC. ZOOL. SOC-1879, No. XXXII. 32 |
