above cited. His specimen came from Venezuela ; but as I 

 have a specimen from the same country with a green crown, 

 like the majority of those from Columbia, I do not deem this 

 of sufficient importance to constitute a species, especially as 

 in all other respects the examples are alike. I have there- 

 fore placed Mr. Lawrence's name as a synonym of heeberlini. 

 This species has been compared with C. chrysogaster, Bourc, 

 both by Cabanis and Lawrence, under the different names em- 

 ployed by them, as being a little smaller; but neither of them 

 in his comparison speaks of the mandible having the basal 

 half red, which is really the only character that is at all trust- 

 worthy, by which the species may be recognized. Speci- 

 mens from Columbia and Venezuela are not to be distin- 

 guished from each other, with which also those brought by 

 Mr. Wyatt from near Cartagena (the locality of the type of 

 heeberlini) fully agree.
