The specimens agree, in coloration and size, with a large series from Colombia 
(Bogoté and Chocd), Ecuador, and Venezuela (Cumand), Examples from Eastern 
Brazil (Bahia and Rio) are much larger (wing 90—95, tail 58—62 mm.) and of a 
lighter, more greenish (Nile) blue. The latter undoubtedly represent typical 
P. viridis viridis. To my mind, P. v. occidentalis is a very well-marked race, 
though occasionally specimens may be found that do not differ in colour from 
the typical race. The difference in size, however, is quite ¢onstant.

Differs from Cayenne skins in the Munich Museum by its much darker, deep 
bluish black (instead of bright purple) throat ; the yellow on the anterior portion of 
the crown is rather more extended, the bill somewhat thicker and stouter, and the 
outermost rectrix only (instead of the two other ones) has a white spot on the inner 
web. A large series from different parts of its range is required to establish the
