There are pairs of this singular Tanager (marked 3 and ? J in. the
Paris, British, and Leyden Musnems, but I have rarely met with it-
elsewhere. I consider it certainly congeneric with the Brazilian
O. 'viridis. The only question is,: whether that may not be the
female of a corresponding brightly-coloured species. I may observe,
that if the birds had not been marked as pairs in the collections
above-cited, I should probably have considered the female as specifically
distinct.
