Above bronzy green, nape darker ; wings and tail blackish, edged 

 with green ; broad front yellow : below yellowish green ; centre of 

 belly and crissum orange-yellow ; wings and tail below dark 

 cinereous ; under wing-coverts white ; bill plumbeous ; feet pale 

 brown : whole length 3-7 inches, wing 2-3, tail 1-3. Female. Like 

 the male, but without the yellow front and with the centre of the 

 beUy pale huffy cinereous instead of yellow. 



Hab. Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. 



The male of this species is not unlike the male of E. gouldi, but 

 has no chestnut on the belly. I believe Count Salvadori's name, 

 founded on a specimen in the Turati Collection, has a slight pre- 

 cedence over mine. The female is described from a specimen from 

 Huambo, Peru (Stolzmann), in Count Salvadori's Collection.
