It is on the eastern sea-board, and not on the southern slope 

 of the Cordillera, tliat R. passerinii occurs. At Izabal, the port 

 of Guatemala, on the Gulf of Dulce, it is tolerably numerous. 

 Skins also have been sent from Cajabon in the Department of 

 the Vera Paz. This bird is readily distinguishable from the 

 New Grenadian R. flammigerus by its smaller size.
