I have always been doubtful about the propriety of keeping G. 

 cijanolcema separate (<•/. Mon. Call. p. 43). An examination of 

 a larger series has convinced me that it may be safely uuited to 

 C. cayana, from which it differs solely in rather greater dimensions. 

 Some of Mr. Whitely's skins from Eoraima are quite as large as a 

 skin from the Rio Negro, which is, I believe, one of the types of 

 G. cyanolaima. As a rule Peruvian specimens are rather larger in 

 dimensions, and the blue on the throat is rather brighter.
