Mr. Gould on two new Trogons. 237 



They are all from the Cordillerian Andes, a country the 

 rich zoological productions of which are daily becoming more 

 known to us. 



Of the two former birds, one is an additional example of 

 the genus Trogon as at present restricted, and may be cha-

Trogon personata.

 loris, plumis auricularibus, et gutture nigris; rectricibus caudae 

 duabus intermediis ex aureo virescenti-fuscis, ad apicem nigris ; 

 utrinque proxima pogonio interno et apice nigris, pogonio extemo 

 ex aureo virescenti-fusco ; rectricibus extemis nigris, lineis albis 

 crehris et undulatis minute fasciatis, ad apicem lat^ niveis ; alis 

 nigris, tectricibus et secundariis lineis cinereis minutis et irregu-

 each side have the inner web and tip black, and the outer web golden

 surface rich scarlet instead of fine orange. 



The other belongs to that section of the Trogonidce to which 

 Mr. Swainson has applied the term Caluru&y and which com-
