Above bright green ; feathers of head, iijiper back, and wing-coverts 

 black, edged with green, and thus showing rounded black spots ; 

 lores black ; narrow front and feathers round the eye golden yellow : 

 below white, tinged with green on the flanks ; sides of the throat 

 and breast spotted with well-defined oval black spots ; middle of 

 belly and under wing- coverts white; crissum yellowish; bill 

 blackish, lower mandible plumbeous; feet dark brown: whole 

 length 5 inches, wing 27, tail 2-1. Female similar, but less distinctly 

 marked, and slightly smaller in size. 



Hah. British Guiana, Venezuela, Trinidad, jS'orthern Colombia, 

 and Isthmus of Panama north to Costa liica. 



The larger size and golden-yellow front and eye-region appear to 

 distinguish this species very satisfactorily from the two preceding. 

 As regards its alleged occurrence in Ecuador (upon which Messrs. 

 Salvin and Godman, I. s. c, have lately cast some doubt) we have 

 only Bourcier's authority, and there was probably some error.
