These four specimens agree with several ollicrs from Curacao in having tlie 

 throat and breast pure glittering green. The birds from Curaanu liave been 

 separated by Simon & Dalraas as ('. c. Irxaoni, but their chief cluiracter, the bluish 

 hue on the throat, occurs sometimes also in specimens from ('iiracao, and I doubt 

 the possibility to distinguish them.

 a broad velvety black stripe along the middle line of the underside from the chin to 

 the anal region. In .1. (ivaminCKs there is only a dull blackish stripe to be seen .m
