Measurements. — Males (17 from Cerro Campana, Veraguas and 

 Chiriqui), wing 118.1-128.8 (123.3), tail 126.1-136.4 (130.9), culmen 

 from base 16.0-18.8 (17.4), tarsus 13.2-15.8 (14.9) mm. 



Females (14 from Cerro Campana, Veraguas and Chiriqui), wing 

 118.0-125.6 (121.8), tail 129.0-137.8 (132.9), culmen from base 

 15.2-17.8 (16.5), tarsus 13.5-15.7 (14.8) mm. 



Resident. Recorded in forested areas from Cerro Campana, western 

 Province of Panama, and the middle mountain slopes of Veraguas 

 and Chiriqui, ranging across the divide beyond Boquete to the Carib- 

 bean slope in Bocas del Toro. 



In March 1951, we found this trogon fairly common on the southern 

 face of Cerro Campana, between 850 and 975 meters elevation. Here 

 they ranged in the rather open forest, and also in large second 

 growth, mainly in areas protected from the strong winds that come 

 regularly across the high mountain slopes. Females taken during 

 March showed development of the ovaries, 1 specimen taken on 

 March 3 having worn tips on the tail as though abraded from a nest 

 cavity. Males uttered a whistled call like that of the collared trogon. 

 One female scolded me with a rapidly uttered, chattering note like 

 that of a barred antshrike. Near El Volcan I secured 1 female at 

 1,750 meters on Cerro Pando, and a male in a tract of forest beside 

 the Rio Chiriqui Viejo at 1,280 meters. 



Trogon aurantiiventris, described by Gould in 1856 from a specimen 

 collected by Thomas Bridges, was listed incorrectly as from "near
