The Oanra River males dift'er from typical T/mL furcata from Cayenne in 

 having the nnder tail-coverts uniform deep steel-blue without white edges. In 

 this respect they agree with specimens from British Guiana (Whitely coll., Merume, 

 Carimang), but the bills are mostly longer than in the latter. 



Messrs. Simon and Dalma.s [Ortt/'s XI. (1901) p. 214] i_[Uote Thalurania 

 refulgens from the Mountains of Cumana and Caura. We can hardly think that 

 the true refulgens occurs on the Caura River. Th. refulgens differs, besides its 

 size and very long tail, by the blue area of tlie back being divided by black in 

 the middle. From Cnmaua the Tring Mnsenm has received a large series of 

 Th. refulgens (or Th. furcata refulgens as Hartert calls it) agreeing with Trinidad 

 specimens.
