* I cannot see to which species Chrysopicus perspidllatus of Malherbe 

 (PicidsB, ii. p. 176) ought to be referred. The description given agrees with 

 C. (Briiyinosus, but the measurements belong to a much smaller species, and the 

 habitat (Colombia, Trinidad, &c.) is not that of the present bird, which is con- 

 fined to Mexico. In Malherbe's plate exiv, figs. 1 cJ, 2 f appear to have been 

 taken from C. aruyinosus, but the face and neck differ entirely from those 

 parts in this or indeed any Chloronerpes known to me.
