Buthraupis chlor onota Sclater. — 1 (5^, 1 $ Vs» 1 c?j 1 ? 

 below Lloa, 8—9000 f. 



Compsocoma victorini Lafr. — 1 $ ^1^, Mindo, 6000 f. The 

 olivegreen back of this specimen has induced us to name it 

 as above. We are, however, not convinced whether it is a 

 young bird of the next. 



Compsocoma sumptuosa cyanoptera Cab. — \ ^ ^j^, road 

 to Nanegal, 6000 f.; 1 (^ 7^, Mindo, 6000 L\ 2 ^<S ^V^, Cancha- 

 coto, 6000 f. The colour of the margins of the quills is paler 

 and less purplish than the colour of the lesser wing coverts. 

 This shoiild thus correspond with the condition described for 

 the »eastern » race, although the localities where the specimens 

 have been collected belong to the western territory. There 

 appears thus to prevail some uncertainty, whether this 

 slight difference in colour stånds in correspondence with a 

 constant geographical distribution. Consul Söderström has 

 also written on the label of the specimen from Canchacoto 

 »also found at Baeza on the road to Napo 6000 f. »
