p. 7^. pi. 84. fig. 1), from which it may be at once distinguished by 

 the fine deep chestnut colouring of the bend of the wing. It is, I 

 think, the most beautiful species of this group yet discovered.

The rufous crown of this species distinguishes it from every one 

 of its congeners except T. ruficepsy from which it may be separated 

 by the want of the dark pectoral band, and other easily perceived 

 characters. 



The shape of the bill is typical, but rather broader and flatter than 

 in T, cinereum. 



I have also lately obtained two specimens of another species of 

 this genus, not quite so typical in form or striking in plumage as the 

 last two, but hardly to be placed without the limits of the group. 

 This I propose to call

 Hab. In Nova Grenada. 



The first example of this species that came under my notice was 

 received from MM. Verreaux of Paris in 1854. It is labelled " New 

 Grenada." I purchased a second not quite mature from Mr. Hurst 

 of Albany in the State of New York. A third is in the British 

 Museum, and is evidently a Bogota skin. The bill of this Todiros^ 

 trum is smaller than in the ordinary run of the species, but of nearly 

 the same form, though not quite so flat. The tail is proportionately 

 rather longer, the tarsi very slender.
