gua and i from Brazil, with which it has been compared. A specimen 

 from "Mexico"- exact locality unknown is similar to it in regard 

 to the breast spots, but differs in being darker on the upper parts. 

 Iris dark brown. 



165. Dendrocincla anabatina Sclater. 



Three specimens were taken at Los Amates, where the species is 

 not uncommon. Iris brown. 



166. Sittasomus sylvioides Lafresnay. 



Two were taken at Los Amates and four at Patulul. In the latter 

 locality they were found searching the crevices in the bark of the 

 large trees left to shade the coffee. Iris dark brown. 



167. Dendrornis flavigaster (Swainsori). 



Three skins and a skeleton were brought from Los Amates and 

 two skins from Patulul. Those from the last named locality are 

 darker above and below, excepting their throats, which, to the con- 

 trary, are paler. There is also a difference in size, indicated by 

 wing measurements:

168. Dendrornis nana confinis Bangs. 



A pair was taken at Los Amates. They have the throat much 

 paler than specimens from Costa Rica and Panama, and therein 

 confirm Mr. Bangs' diagnosis of his subspecies confinis. Iris dark 

 brown; maxilla black; mandible pale; feet horn color. 



169. Picolaptes affinis (Lafresnay}. 



A single specimen was taken by Mr. Barber near Tecpam, at

170. Picolaptes compressus (Cabanis). 



One specimen was taken at Mazatenango, one at San Jose, and 

 three at Patulul. They are all slightly darker above than a series
