of the exterior tail-feathers with extinguished bands.

It is possible that all these species are subspecies of one or two type- 
species. This point, however, can only be determined by future re- 
searches. 
Genus TopIRHAMPHUS. 
I found in the collection of Lord Derby two new species belonging 
to this genus. 
Top. PECTORALIS. 
Green, with a white spot before the eye ; throat and chin dark ash- 
grey ; next this with white on the crop; breast light ash-grey; the 
inner margins of the wing-feathers and the inner wing-covers yellow ; 
outer margins of the wing-feathers and tail olive ; belly and sides white. 
Head, 28; gape, 14; wing, 45; tail, 42; tarsus, 15 mm. long. 
Hab. ° Mexico. 
Top. RUFICEPS. 
With red head and dark ash-grey occipital feathers ; next this an 
ash-grey collar; over part of the wings black, with two light yellow 
bands ; wing- and tail-feathers with olive margins, which on the arm- 
wings are more white; lorum black ; ear-covers brownish ; chin and 
throat white, with brownish tint, and divided from the yellow under 
parts with a black striped band ; the tibial feathers black. 
Head, 26; gape, 13; wing, 46; tail, 36; tarsus, 17 mm. long. 
Hab. ° Mexico. 
PurynorHampnts, Kaup. Smithornis, Ch. Bonap. 
The bill very broad, half as high as broad, with sharp culmen ; the 
wings short ; the first wing-feather long, nearly as long as the seventh, 
the second as long as the third and fourth ; outer toe at the base con- 
nected with the middle toe. 
I am strongly inclined to believe that this section does not possess 
the song-muscles. 
PHRYNORHAMPHUS CAPENSIS. Plalyrhynchus capensis, A. Sm. 
Descr.—Upper mandible black, lower mandible yellow ; front and 
lorum rufous yellow; head black; the bristle-feathers with white
