This little speçies, of 'which there are two examples,in the British
Muséum, both apparently Bogota skins,, différé from all its congeners
in the colouring of thé'lower surface of th e body, which iisrof a pale
reddish buff, growing much whiter in the middle of, the belly.. Above
the plumage is lead-coloured, with a greenish tinge superinduced
towards the lower part of the back. The wings and tail are brown,
with slight greenish edgings ; the ear-coverts and whole, aide of the.
face are black. In' tf ir lérohflr specimen, apparently not so mature,;
there is a light-coloured spot on the front, just above the nostrils.
The bill of this specieaagrees with that oi'Chlorospingus atripileus
in size, but is father straighter in form, as ih C\. verticalis. '

I possess a single example of this small Chlorospingus. It is
closely allied to. C. superciliaris, but is inferior in size, has short
yellow instead of longer whitish supercilia, and the body beneath only
yellow quite in the middle, the sides being olive. Its olive plumage
is also of a more brownish, tinge, and the feet are pale brown of flesh-
coloured, not plumbeous.
