I hayO had a- specimen: of this bird in my possession for some
%tne,<;butokylately discovered its distinctness from the preceding
Species, on comparing them together at the Jardin des Plantes. The
Venezuelan form may be distinguished! by the brown colour on the
flanks and crissum, the brownish olive tall, and the commencement
of the.supercilia from the front. The examples of this Buarremon
at, Paris jsyere sent ,to; the Museum from Caraccas by M. Levraud.
