of Brussels_, which I have had an opportunity of examining 

 through the kindness M. Alphonse Dubois. 



P. sclateri may be readily distinguished from all other 

 species of the genus by its small size and crimson breast- 

 patch. In the latter respect it comes next to P. frontalis, but 

 may be known from that bird by its belly being green, like 

 the back, except in the lowest portion.

This is not an uncommon species in Venezuelan collections, 

 but seems to be confined to the wood-region of the coast- 

 district. It extends also into the adjacent Republic of Co- 

 lumbia, as Mr. Salmon has forwarded examples of both sexes 

 from the province of Antioquia, but is by no means frequently 

 met with in " Bogota '' collections. 



The female in this species is longitudinally striated below, 

 as in P. jucunda, not cross-banded as in P. frontalis and P. 

 fo7-mosa.
