 lower mandible yellow." — Wing 44 ; rectr. med. 45A ; r. subnied. 33 ; r. ext. 18 ;

20. Agyrtria niillerii (Bourc.) 



Trochilua .Millerii Bourcier, P.Z.S. 1847, p. 43 (" le Brc'sil, Rio Negro, rapportu par M. Xatterer "). 



No. 593. ? ad., 16. iii. 06. " Iris black, bill black, base of lower mandible 

 light red." — Wing 45 ; tail 25; bill 17 mm. 



Except in being slightly smaller, the specimen agrees with sexed ? ? of 

 A. millerii from the Orinoco. Forehead and vertex are covered with glittering pare 

 green or golden-green feathers ; chin and throat pure white without any metallic 

 srjots. A. affinis, A. nitidifrons, A. millerii and A. viridiceps seem to form a 

 natural group, representing each other geographically. 



The present specimen extends the range of A. millerii considerably to the 

 east. The most easterly locality hitherto known was Mauaos, where Natterer 

 collected several specimens.

This specimen is typical albiventris, having the base of the four outer tail- 

 feathers distinctly bronze green. The under tail-coverts are dark brown with 

 broad white edges.
