region at Turbo, and these were described and figured by Cassin as Celeus mentalis®. 
Then Mr. Lawrence described a female specimen from Panama as Celeus squamatus ®, 
considering it distinct from Celeus fraseri of Western Ecuador. Subsequent investiga- 
tions have settled that all these names are synonyms of Meiglyptes loricatus of 
Reichenbach. based on a bird said to have been obtained in Peru by Warszewiez 1. 
M‘Leannan sent us two females from Panama, and subsequently Arcé obtained a 
male from Veraguas. This marks the extreme limit of the range of the species so far 
as our own information goes; but Mr. Zeledon records it from the Costa-Rican 
province of Talamanca, where it must closely approach the domain of C. castaneus, 
which occurs at Angostura on the same side of the mountain-range. 
We have no record of its habits, but Salmon, who met with the bird in the 
Colombian State of Antioquia, states that the iris in life is dark 2.

“ Allied to C. elegans, from which it seems only to differ in having the inner webs of the wing-feathers plain 
yellow, without the black bands or spots to be seen in that species.” (Berlepsch, 1. s. ¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Agua Dulce (fide Berlepsch). 
We know nothing of this species, nor was Mr. Hargitt acquainted with it when he 
wrote his ‘Catalogue of Picide.’ It was described from a female specimen by Count 
Berlepsch, and supposed to have been sent from Panama from the style of preparation 
of the skin. . 
C. elegans belongs to the section of the genus in which the under surface of the 
body is nearly or quite uniform. Its habitat is the northern countries of South 
America from Guiana to Trinidad and Venezuela.
