I have no specimens at hand of the Costa Rica bird, but as 

 Mr. Casein states (Proc. Phil. Acad., \*">7, p. 103) that ti 

 from Panama are the same, I am able to compare with /.'. 

 carinatus from Mexico; as noticed by Mr. Cassin they differ 

 in the southern bird having the red hand below the yellow of 

 the throat much wider, yet with a large number of specimens 

 before him, Mr. Cassin says: "I acknowledge myself quite 

 perplexed to distinguish satisfactorily between them." 



Mr. Salvin (P. Z. &, 1867, p. 156) puts ajoprooeimatw as b 

 synonym of carinatus and remarks: "This rac< 

 closely allied to the more northern bird that I am unwilling 

 separate them.'' 



I have two specimens from Panama, male and female, and 

 but one from Mexico; this last has only a mere edging of red 

 on the lower border of the yellow of the throat, and has the 

 black coloring of the plumage tinged with purple, most ap- 

 parent on the wings and tail, whereas the Panama specimens 

 are of a greenish hue on those parts; the Mexican exampli 

 larger in all its proportions than either of the othi 



Mr. Cassin in his " Study of the Rarrvphastidae^ keeps it 

 separate from carinatus; I have also given it under Mr. 

 Cabanis' name. It seems certainly to be a well marked race, it" 

 not distinct.
