4, Chloronerpes godmani. (Tab. LIX... figg. 1,3; 2,9.) 
Chloronerpes godmani, Hargitt, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xviii. p. 837. 
C. auriculari: persimilis, regione oculari sordide albido, tectricibus auricularibus indistincte fasciatis, pileo 
toto pallidiore cinereo, dorso viridescentiore oleagineo vix tincto: subtus gula albicantiore, fasciis corporis 
pallidis angustioribus forsan dignoscendus. 
2 mari similis, sed stria malari coccinea nulla, 
Hab. Mexico, Hacienda de San Marcos, Jalisco (W. Lloyd 1), Hacienda de Santa 
Gertrudis, Jalisco (Dr. A. C. Buller), Mineral de San Sebastian near Mascota, 
Jalisco (Dr. A. C. Buller, in Mus. Rothschild). 
We have some doubts whether this species is really distinct from C. awricularis, 
which it resembles in almost every particular, though slight modifications of tone in the 
coloration of the plumage can be noticed. The female, upon which Mr. Hargitt based 
his description, certainly has the area round the eye, the lores, and ear-coverts uniform 
whity-brown, without grey bands across the latter, but in the male these are to some 
extent visible. In both sexes the head is paler grey, and the back, too, is of a paler 
shade than in the allied bird. 
Our first specimen, a female, was sent us by Mr. William Lloyd, who shot it on 
12th May, 1889, near the Hacienda of San Marcos in the State of Jalisco, at an 
altitude of 5200 feet above sea-level. We have since obtained a male shot by Dr. A. C. 
Buller on 20th July, 1892, near the Hacienda of Santa Gertrudis in the same State. 
Mr. Rothschild also has two specimens, a male and female, from the same collector, 
which were shot at Mineral de San Sebastian, near Mascota, also in the State of Jalisco, 
on the 5th May, 1892, and 3rd February, 1893, respectively. 
B. Minores, remigibus intus ad basin cinnamomeis nigro maculatis.

Chloronerpes callopterus, Lawr. Ann. Lyc. N. Y. vii. p. 4761; Salv. Ibis, 1874, p. 3177; Hargitt, 
Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. xviii. p. 80°. 
- Supra oleagineo-olivaceus, capite summo et capitis lateribus brunnescentioribus, nucha coccinea, stria ab ore 
infra oculos flava: subtus oleagineus, gula flavo striata, gutture et pectore flavo guttatis, abdomine flavo et 
oleagineo regulariter transfasciatis ; alis cinnamomeis, apicibus nigris et nigro in ambobus pogoniis maculatis, 
secundariis extrorsum fere omnino oleagineis; cauda oleaginea, rectricibus mediis apicibus et rhachidibus 
nigris; rostro et pedibus nigricante plumbeis. Long. tota circa 7:0, ale 4-3, caudew 2°3, rostri a rictu 1-0, 
tarsi 0-7, dig. med. absque ungue 0°6, dig. ext. 0°55. (Descr. femine ex Veraguas, Panama. Mus. nostr.) 
¢ adhuc ignotus. 
Hab. Panama, Veraguas (Arcé?), Lion Hill (/‘Leannan'). 
We are not aware of the existence of more than two specimens of this species in 
collections, both of them females. Mr. Lawrence received the first from M‘Leannan 
from the Line of the Panama Railway and described it as a male in 18621. The ot 
second specimen was sent us by Arcé in one of his last collections made in Veraguas
