Adult male (type, No. 112592, Truxillo, Honduras, September 27, 1887 ;

 bronzy ; primaries dull slate-color with black shafts; tail (exc('])t middle 

 feathers) slate-color, the three outer feathers tipped with white, this

 red. Length (skin) 9.G0, wing 5.40, tail 3.80, culmeu .52, tarsus 1.30,

It is not unlikely that this bird will prove to be simply a northern 

 form of U. rvjimtcha, since a Costa Eican example of the latter (Xo. 

 950G0, 9 ad., Pirris, October, 1883, J. C. Zeledon) is in some respects 

 nearly intermediate, the occiput and nape being decidedly less lurid 

 than in a Veragua example (No. 02140, Chiriqui; E. Arce). 



53. Peristeracinerea(TEMjr.).

54. Columbigallina lufipennis (Br.).

Four specimens, June 15, August 8. 



2. Sialia sialis guatemalae Ridgw. ? 



One specimen, a young male, doubtfully referred to this fornn. The 

 blue of the wings and tail, however, correspomls with that of the (iuate- 

 malan bird.
