The Euphonia serrirostris figured by d’Orbigny seems to he.nothing
more than the female of a species very-clpsely allied to the
Euphonia chlorotica. As however I think it possibly distinct* from
the E . chlorotica of Cayenne, MM. Lafresnaye and d’Orbigny’s name
can be retained for, the Bolivian bird, until further examination of a
series of specimens can be made—by which means only the question
of their identity can be determined. "

I have seen a good many examples of this Trinidad species, which
appears correctly separable from the Cayenne bird.

In the amount of yellow. on. the. head, and general appearance,
this-speciës iCbmes very near the tree chlorotica.7 But it »may be
recognized by the paler'tinge of thé yellow andAhe absence ofthe
violaceous colouring upon the back.
