Chalybura buffoni (Less.). 

 Manaure, (J ? , 18th May. 



ACESTRURA MULSANTI (Bourc). 



Atanques (2700 ft.), 26th February. 



Metallura smaragdinicollis ? 



Valley of Chinchicua (6500 ft.), 15th February. 



The single imperfect skin sent agrees, so far as we can 

 detect, with Peruvian and Bolivian examples of this species. 

 We should not, however, be surprised to find that adult spe- 

 cimens showed that the species was distinct, as the Sierra de 

 Santa Marta is a very long way from the previously known 

 range of M. smaragdinicollis. 



Panychlora, sp. ? 



Manaure (2700 ft.), S, 7'th May. 



This may prove to be an undescribed species ; but we hesi- 

 tate, as yet, to give it a name. Its size about equals that of 

 P. poortmamii ; but the tail is longer, and of a rich coppery 

 hue. This may be the result of damp ; so that we wait for 

 more specimens before deciding the position of the species. 



Mr. Simons sends three other specimens of Trochilidae ; 

 but as they are all females, their determination cannot be 

 effected satisfactorily. 



Campephilus malherbii. Gray. 



Atanques (4000 ft.), $, 26th February. "Eyes white." 



Centijrus tricolor (WagL). 



VaUe Dupar (700 ft.), Sy 3rd March. " Eyes brown.''

BUCCO RUPICOLLIS (Wagl.) .

 Agrees with one of Mr. Wyatt's specimens obtained at
