 30. Calliste larvata francescae Scl. 



This very distinct southern snlispecics of G. larvata larmita. was found at 

 Cachavi at onl)- about 500 feet above the sea. " Iris brown ; bill and feet black." 

 While northern birds, those from South Mexico and Guatemala, have a much 

 deeper copper-coloured throat and nape, those from Costa Rica are somewhat 

 intermediate, and those from Ecuador are palest of all. They liave also, except 

 one, perceptibly less blue on the sides of the breast, and a longer series would 

 most likely enable us to create another subspecies for this form. 



37. Calliste gyroloides (Lafr.). 



Chimbo, about 1000 feet above the sea. "Iris brown; feet light greyish 

 brown ; maxilla dark irreyisli brown, mandible greyish."

42. Buthraupis rothschildi Herlji. 

 (Plate II. fig. 2.) 



This beautiful Butkraupig, which is faithfully depicted on our plate, lias been 

 described by Count Bcrlcpsch in the Bull. Ji. 0. ('. of the October meeting, IsO? 

 (Vol. VII. p. 8). A single male, evidently <jnite adult, was shot at Cachavi, oOO 

 feet high, on December 17th, 1896. " Its iris is dark brown ; bill and feet black." 



The nearest ally seems to be B. edwordsi Ell. from S.W. Colombia, but 

 B. rotkschildi differs from it in its bine-black back and belly, black sides of the 

 head, bright yellow under", tail- and wing-coverts, and its broad baud of bright 

 orange-yellow on the breast, there being only a small yellow spot in the middle 

 of the breast in B. edwardsi.
