The gradual extension of our series of specimens of this Ewphonia has convinced us 
that Mr. Sclater’s name EF. crassirostris, which was founded on Colombian skins 6, is really 
a synonym of d’Orbigny’s title E. /aniirostris, and that the bird ranges uninterruptedly 
from Bolivia to Costa Rica. From this latter country, however, we have only a single 
female skin to show its presence there. In the State of Panama it is abundant, and 
quite supplants Huphonia hirundinacea, its more northern representative. 
Like E. hirundinacea this species is an inhabitant of low-lying hot districts, but 
Mr. Simons observed it in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta as high as 2700 feet 
above the sea °.

As will be seen above, this pretty species enjoys a wide range throughout our 
region, from Southern Mexico to Costa Rica. In the State of Panama, in the rest 
of the isthmus, and in the northern parts of Colombia, its piace seems to be taken by 
LE. fulvicrissa, the female of which much resembles that of the present bird, but the 
male has the upper parts of the steel-blue colour so prevalent in this genus. both 
sexes, however, in 4. gouldi and in E. fulvicrissa have the crissum of a light chestnut 
or tawny colour. 
Euphonia gouldi first came into Mr. Sclater’s possession in 1856, a specimen being
