Remarks. — From its style of coloring, I have included this 

 species in the genus Pogonolriectis, but the bill is wider and 

 Hatter; it may be of the same genus as a species recently de- 

 Bcribed by Messrs. Sclater and Salvin (P. Z. S, 1868, p. 389), 

 from Veraguas, and referred by them to Leptolriccus (a form 

 1 am not acquainted with), though with a larger and wider bill. 

 It ia possible that the present species and the one from Veraguas 

 may be the same generically, and perhaps separable from both 

 Pogonotricctu and L< ptotriccus.
