The male specimens agree fairly with Leybold's type, which passed into Gould's 

 possession and theuce to the British Mnseiini. Unfortnimtely it is in very bad 

 condition, so that onr comparison is not wholly satisfactory in view of tiie widely 

 separated localities whence the type and Mr. Baron's specimen came. At Lima the 

 true li. vesper is found, wliich further complicates the question.

Mr. Baron has sent us carefully prepared specimens of the tail of both male and 

 female of this species. The former shows that the central pair of rectrices are not 

 abnormally short, as in the genus Mi/rtis, nor are the outer pair filiform, as in 

 Acestnira. Thus Mulsaiit's genus Myrmia had better be retained for J/, niicrura, 

 its only species. The central pair of rectrices of the mnle are nearly as long as the 

 rest, but are drawn to a fine point at the end, and are white, the others being 

 j)urple-black. The same feathers in the femah' are also drawn to a much h'ss taper 

 point, the end being black, whereas the otlier feathers are tipped with white.
