Remarks. — Had Mr. Brown taken but one specimen of this fine trogon 

 I should have been inclined to regard it as a hybrid between P. antiskmvs 

 and P. aurieeps. Three examples, however, each one showing the charac- 

 ters equally well, disprove any such idea. 



The type is a fall!/ adult male, there is no trace of brownish on the outer 

 edges of the primaries, the bill is wholly yellow, and the breast wholly 

 metallic. 



The difference in size and the peculiar tail, unlike that of either of the 

 related species, distinguish this new trogon, which is probably confined 

 to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 



Trogon personatus Gould. 



Plight specimens, both sexes, from Chirua, La Concepcion, and Maco- 

 tama. 



Chloronerpes yucatanensis uiopygialis (Cab.). 



Four specimens, both sexes, from La Concepcion and San Miguel. All 

 figree exactly with Cabanis' description and with sjiecimens in the U. S. 

 National Museum from Costa Eica. This form, which langes from Costa 

 Rica southward, is distinguished from the more northern C. yucatanensis 

 by the golden-brown back, the back of true C. yucatanensis being green. 



Pygmornis striigularis Gould. 

 Two males from La Concepcion, altitude 3,000 feet. 



Leucuria phalerata Bangs. 



One adult male from Paramo de Macotama, 11,000 feet, Mar. 11, 1899. 

 This specimen, in fine plumage, is just like the type, except that the bill 

 is a little longer. 



* Noted by Mr. Brown from fresh specimen.
