and specimens were often brought to us from the forest-clad 

 mountain-slopes below Dueiias. Mr. G. C. Taylor (Ibis, 1860, 

 p. 121) found this species at San Pedro, near the northern 

 sea-board of the Republic of Honduras; and very recently Mr. 

 Whitely obtained specimens at the same spot. The most 

 southern limit of its range seems to be the shores of the gulf of 

 Nicoya, where Dr. v. Frantzius and M. Zeledon both procured 

 examples (Ann. Lye. N. Y. ix. p. 131 ; J. f. Orn. 1869, p. 366) . 

 I have never seen skins of it in any of the extensive collections 

 from Veragua and Panama.

I never met with this species in a wild state, and the only 

 specimens I have seen are those in the British and Leyden 

 Museums. That in the former collection is said to have been 

 obtained by Dyson in Honduras, and hence the title of the 

 species to appear in the present list. 



20. Chrysotis finschi, Scl. : Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 543. 

 This species, though confined to Southern Mexico, appears 



to have been sent by Salle only in one of his earlier collections 

 {cf. Scl. P. Z. S. 1857, p. 230, sub C. viridigenalis) . None of 

 his correspondents seem to have obtained examples ; at least there 

 are no records of such having been the case. The species is closely 

 allied to C. diademata, but, according to Finsch (/. c), is smaller, 

 and has the under surface of a uniform golden green, without 

 dark edgings to the feathers. The base of the inner web of the 

 outer rectrix has a red patch. '^

Admitting Dr. Finsch^s determination of this species to be 

 correct, I have no doubt that the names 1 quote above are all 

 applicable to the same bird. I have seen numerous specimens 

 from Panama ; and from Veragua Arce has sent us several ex- 

 amples. Our collection also contains specimens from Costa
