Vera Paz. Having obtained this species from Don Vicente 

 Constancia, I am unable to say whether it is from Coban or the 

 low lands. — O. S. 



This bird is no Chlorosjjingus, as placed by Bonaparte, but a 

 very close ally of Eucometis cristata of my ' Synopsis/ and per- 

 haps hardly sufficiently distinct from it. — P. L. S. 



19. EuPHONiA MiNUTA(Cab.) : Sclater, Syn. Av. Tan. p. 100. 

 Coban. I obtained only a single specimen of this Euphonia. 



20. Dendrocops multistrigatus, Eytou, Contr. Orn. 1851, 

 p. 75. 



S. Cruz, Vera Paz, December 1859. This is probably Mr. 

 Eyton's species, as indicated above. It differs from the South 

 American D. platyrostris (Spix) (which it greatly resembles) in 

 having a longer, narrower, and paler bill. — P. L. S.

 p. 442. 



Duenas. A single specimen. 



22. Chrysomitris notata (Du Bus) : Bp. Consp. p. 516. 

 Volcan de Puego, August 1859. It was on the edge of the 



deep ravine that divides the fire-cone from the other two of the 

 Volcan de Fuego, in the stony, desolate waste lying on the 

 eastern side of the last-mentioned cones, that I first met with 

 this beautiful Goldfinch. I have since found it at Coban, and 

 on the hills between San Juan Sacatipequez and Antigua, but 

 did not obtain specimens from either locality. This is much 

 more of a true Goldfinch than C. mexicana. 



23. Icterus mentalis (Less.). 



San Geronimo, December 1859. One of the commonest of 

 the many Icteri of this place. 



24. Chordeiles virginianus (Gm.). 



Coban, Vera Paz. These different species of Night-jars are 

 not easily to be distinguished on the wing. 



25. Antrostomus vociferus (Wils.). 

 Coban and San Geronimo.
