 latter is really a young male.

This is a recent discovery of the Polish naturalist Jelski in 

 the interesting part of Peru which he has lately explored — 

 the vicinity of Tarma and Junin. M. Jelski obtained several 

 specimens at Maraynioc in this district, but does not appear 

 to have distinguished the species from D. brunneiventris . The 

 figure is taken from one of these examples (belonging to the 

 Museum of Warsaw), which M. Taczanowski has kindly sent 

 me for examination.

For the discovery of this fine Diglossa we are indebted to 

 the researches of Mr, Bridges, who obtained examples about 

 the year 1844, during his travels in the province of La Paz. 

 It was from one of these specimens, as it seems, that Lafresnaj'c 

 described the species. Mr. Bridges subsequently published 

 the following notes on the species : — 



" Lives entirely in the thickets, hopping from bough to
