I can find no difference between the Brazilian bird and the Bogota
specimens (E . brevirostris) sufficient to warrant their separation.

A bird in the collection-lately transmitted to the Paris Muspumhy
M. Levraud from Caraccas, differs from the true Bolivian^rafieeps
only in having rather more chestnut colouring on the head, and that
of a lighter-and more, orange-coloured tinge. I should be unwilling
to separate it specifically without seeing HMjre specimens.

I possess a single specimen of this Euphonia which was received
by MM. Verreaux from their collector at S. Martha. It appears to
me to constitute a new species of this genus, distinguished by--the
way in which the black throat is produced towards" tlfeTbreast’ and
rounded at its termination, and the' peculiar, colour of. the crissum.
