CoLoMBIA ?. 
Gould’s type of this species was obtained near David by Warszewiez!, and Bridges 
found it near the same place 23, but we have not received any specimens from quite so 
far to the westward. Arcé, however, sent us many specimens from Santa Fé and other 
places in the vicinity, and the bird is not uncommon on the line of the Panama 
Railway. Its presence in Costa Rica rests upon a statement of Gould’s, and a specimen 
so marked is in his collection, but he gave no further authority for its presence in that 
country. No recent collectors, that we are aware of, have observed it there. 
According to Bridges?, C. cwruleigularis flies in the streets of David, and feeds from 
the flowers of Tamarindus indicus and also from orange-blossoms.

DAMOPHILA. 
Celigena, 8. Damophila, Reichenbach, Aufz. d. Col. p. 7. 
Damophila, Salv. Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xvi. p. 235. 
In Damophila the tail is rounded, the four middle rectrices being nearly equal, the 
outer pair much shorter. Glittering colours overspread the whole of the under surface 
of the body. 
Two species are contained in the genus, one of which belongs to Colombia and 
Western Ecuador ; the other is probably peculiar to the State of Panama.
