" The only specimen of this species, an old female, was shot in the 

 woods at St. Vicente in December by Mr. H. Sochor. 



" It is similar to D. mcruloidcs Lafr., but is smaller than both of the 

 species with which D. mcruloides (of which no measurements have been 

 published) has been compared. The yellow streak behind the eye is 

 also very prominent, as in D.fumigata. 



" D. olivacea Lawr from New Granada seems to be larger ; it 



shows a blackish line from the upper mandible to the eye^and an oblong 

 spot of the same color beneath the eye ; the lower mandible is whitish."* 

 {Translation.) 



This species is also unknown to me. 



* This is au error, only a streak on the gonys being whitisli. The supposed blackish 

 streaks also have no existence in fact, although mentioned both by Mr. Lawrence, in 

 his original description, and in remarks quoted by him from Dr. Sclater. They ap- 

 jiarently consist of mere shadoivs, caused by the feathers standing oii end, thus giving 

 the ajipearauco of dark markings unless carefully examined.
