bon's plate and description it likewise would seem different from P. 

 townshendi, which has been united to Lafresnaye's species, I believe 

 quite erroneously, by Prince Bonaparte. 



My impression is that the Berlin Museum specimens, marked 

 " Hypothymis ccesia," are identical with the present bird ; but as I 

 have no means of verifyiug that fact, and the name is merely in MS., 

 I think it safer to give it a new appellation. 



Lafresnaye's M. obscurus (R. Z. 1839, p. 99), of which I have 

 examples procured near the city of Guatimala by Signor Constancia, 

 may be recognized at once from the present species by its brown 

 back and rufous wing-edgings.
