Remarks. — True Chloronerpes simplex Salviii was originally described from 

 Bugaba, and the type is a female ; since 1870 its range has been traced northward 

 through Costa Rica to La Libertad, Chontales, Nicaragua.^ It is probably 

 everywhere a rare bird ; Mr. Brown never saw it during the time he was in 

 Chiriqui, and the U. S. National Museum has but one or two specimens from 

 Costa Rica. The form just described appears to be, so far as can be determined 

 from a single specimen, a very well-marked northern race, much smaller and 

 otherwise different. It must also be a very rare bird, as I do not find it listed 

 in any of the published accounts of collections made in Honduras.
