Adult male. Very similar to that of G. splendidm, but smaller, 

 aud with the abdomen less decidedly tinged with a golden hne ; 

 upper surface, especially the crown, of a brighter, more gUttenng 

 golden green. Total length about 3-3 inches, wing 1-8 ; tail, lateral 

 rectrices 1-05, central 0-8 : bill 0-C5. 



Adult female. Similar to that of G. si)lendidus, but smaller, 

 and with a shorter, less deeply forked tail. 



G iqneus of Gould was based upon a specimen supposed to have 

 come from Para. The type has rich reddish-golden plumage, un- 

 lil-e that of normal C. imcherani ; but a second specimen from 

 Bahia is somewhat intermediate, so that I doubt the distinctness ot 

 G iqneus and believe these specimens to be in abnormal, perhaps 

 st'ained, plumage. G. insularis, Lawr., supposed to belong to the 

 Tres Marias Islands, is now admitted to have been based upon a 

 specimen of C. imcherani wrongly located.
