Tliis is a common species in Bogota collections. In Gray's Genera 

 and Prince Bonaparte's Conspectus it is erroneously united to B. 

 eximia, from which it is quite distinct. Sir William Jardine pos- 

 sesses examples transmitted by Professor Jameson from the forests 

 of the Andes near Quito, which are rather larger than Bogota skins, 

 and have the bill stronger and are less black on the throat.
