 thighs green ; bill yellow, with a line of black spots along the edges 

 of the upper mandible : whole length 15 inches, wing 5, tail 5*5,

Hah. Colombia, Ecuador, and Upper Amazonia. 



After carefully examining the present series I have come to the 

 conclusion that the only satisfactory plan is to unite the birds termed 

 by (jould P. Jlavirostris and 1'. maria;. The brownish tinge on the 

 lower mandible appears to be an unreliable character, and there is 

 considerable variation in size in specimens from the same locality.
