These specimens agree with those from Teffe, Para, etc. The black tip to 

 the lower mandible is about 8 mm. long.

 is well described and figured).

 bill black." 



These specimens are identical in coloration with a large series from Cayenne, 

 Para, Goyaz, Minas Gerafa's, and S. Paulo, the back and abdomen being pure 

 golden green with scarcely any bluish tinge. I regret to say that Mons. Simon 

 has renamed the typical form as E. m. prasina. The birds found in Bahia 

 collections, which have the abdomen dark greenish blue and the back likewise 

 decidedly bluish green, however, are certainly different, and, if not referable 

 to Ornismya hi rundinacea Less.,* must receive a new name.

This bird is entirely typical, the base of the four onter tail-feathers on each 

 side and the central pair being bright bronze-green, the under tail-coverts pale 

 brownish with broad white edges.
