 C. carni/ra microihi/nrha Berlp. (./../; 0. 1884, p. 287, typns e.\ Bucaramauga) 50 to 

 58 ; the tail is about 25 against 28 to 31 in C. c. mivrorhyncha, and the bill is also 

 shorter. The blue on the uudersurface is slightly lighter and clearer blue, less 

 tinged with violet. The blue colour of the forehead and cheeks agrees with that of 

 Bogota specimens, while examples from Pt. t'abello agree in this respect fully with 

 those from Guiana.

 rhyncha in their smaller size— bill 15, wing 54-5, tail 26 mm. The pale striations
