0. f rater, based mainly for its separation on the longer hill and 

 shorter wings and tail. 



L87. Dendfocolaptes muUistrigatus. 



The Central American bird has heretofore been considered 

 the same as Eyton's species by Messrs. Sclater and Salvin {Hi*, 

 l v 'i". p. 275); but recently having had the opportunity of com- 

 paring it with the type, they determined it to be distinct and 

 have described it under the name of D. puncticoUis (P. Z. &, 

 L868, p. .~»4). The specimen above referred to in the Ibis, came 

 from Guatemala; the example from Costa Rica is evidently tlie 

 same, and must therefore bear the name of puncticoUis. 



24S Rhynchocyclus sulphurescens. 



Having occasion lately to examine the species of Rhynchocyclus, 

 I found the single speeimen in the collection, which 1 referred 

 to sulphurescens, Spix, to be cinereiceps, Sel. 



306. Monasa /» ruana. 



I noticed (antea p. 118) the large dimensions of the bird from 

 Costa Rica, on which character Messrs. Sclater and Salvin (P. 

 Z. S., l v ' ;v . p. 327) have described it as a new species, with the 

 name of J/, grandior. 



32 1. Eutoxeres aquila. 



In (Ann. and Mag. of X. //., June, L868, p. 455) Mr. Gould 



the bird from Veraguasand Costa Rica as distinct from 



/•;. aquila, though previously he thought them identical, and has 



conferred upon it the nameof I', salvini. No specimen of this 



species has yel been received at the Smithsonian. 



360. EupTu i usa >. tim in. 



M< Sclater and Salvin ( P. Z. S., L868, p. 889) have 



separated the Costa Rica bird as distinct, calling il E. egregia y 

 diflferin i eximia In the white mark on the outer two tail 



it tending partly on the outer webs ; in eximia, it is re 

 stricted to the inner webs, though the pari "l the shaft adjoining 

 is white. 



They describe the female as having the outer two tail feathers 

 wholly white.
