Similar to X. L rlr/di, but larger (except bill and feet); palpebral 

 spots whit(> or ])liush white, instead of rich l>luo; forehead yellow- 

 ish white or light yellow, this more extended than the white in X. I. 

 vmida^ and extended backward, more or less distinctly, along edges 

 of the blue occipital and nuchal patch; occiput, nape, and hind- 

 neck much paler bhu^ than in X. 1. rnuda (pale campanula or purplish 

 azure instead of I'ich campanula or almost smalt blue), the hindneck 

 paler than occiput, and all the feathers of this blue area distinctly pale 



«Dr. Sclater's argument against the applicability of the name to the jjresent form 

 is, however, quite untenable, some examples havinir the under jmrts exactly as 

 purely and wholly yellow as the Venezuelan bird (.V. yncn^ i-hlonniota) , to which 

 Dr. Sclater tliinks the above name referable.
