The specimens from Ciiidad Bolivar, as well as those from Snapnre, have 

 mostly more yellow about the eyes than those from Alfagracia, Maipures, and 

 Caicara, and the ear-coverts are mostly somewhat more uniform. The Orinoco 

 specimens collected by Cherrie have partly rather light ear-coverts, ajiproaching 

 those of C. aeruginosus arubensis Hart.

These specimens agree with others from Pto. Cabello in Mns. H. v. B., and a 

 large series from Cniuana in Mns. Tring. The males have the inner nndcr wing- 

 coverts of a dark cobalt-l)lne, tlie small outer under wing-coverts and the anterior 

 u]i]ier wing-coverts tinged with azure-blue, also some of the posterior upper coverts 

 of the jirimaries tinged witli cobalt-blue. The uropygium is bright green witliout 

 bbiisli suffusion. 



A coni])aris()n with specimens from Demerara* is necessary. Should there lie 

 any difference l)etween Demerara birds and (liose inhabiting Venezuela, the latter 

 ought to bear the name Ps. cirirlissima Lafr. {Ri'.e. Zool. 1848 p. 172, ex Caracas).
