W e have the following notes to offer on the species marked with an asterisk :- 12. CALLISTE PULCHRA. These specimens are undoubtedly referable to the true Calospiza pulchra of Tschudi. We have hitherto only seen Napo skins, which show rather more orange-colour on the head and less chestnut-yellow on the throat than the Peruvian bird. In the latter also the black mentum is wider. 16. TANAGRA OLIVINA, Sclater. (Plate XXI.) Since describing this species from Nattererian specimens (P. Z. S. 1864, p. 607), I have obtained a Bogota skin of what I regard as the same species. Mr. Whitely's example from Cosnipata (" shot in the clearing, May 27, 1871 ") agrees with it in being rather brighter below than the typical specimen, but hardly otherwise differs. I suspect that the bird described by Cassin (P. A. S. Phil. 1860, p. 140) as Orthogonys olivaceus, and subsequently figured (ibid. 1864, t. 2), belongs to the same or to a nearly allied species. 19. BUTHRAUPIS CUCULLATA. W e refer a fine large Tanager of the Buthraupis group, two specimens of which were obtained by Mr. Whitely at Huasampilla in July 1871, to B. cucullata, although the yellow extends mesially rather higher up the throat, and the black cap does not pass so low on the nape, as in Bogota skins of this species. Further south this species is replaced by B. montana (Lafr. et D'Orb.). 21. PHOSNICOTHRAUPIS CARMIOLI, Lawr. Ann. Lye. N. Y. ix. p. 100. W e are not able to separate Mr. Whitely's skins of this species from Costa-Rican examples in Salvin and Godman's collection, although they are rather brighter in colour, particularly below. In * Cf.
