Ohs. Although Mr. Gould cites the P. Z. S., for 1849, as the place where this 

 species was described, and he has been followed in this citation by others, yet I 

 cannot find that the species was published in the volume for that year, but was 

 evidently first described in the Monograph of the Trochilida;.
