M. Saiy s recent coUections contain a single specimen of this curi- 

 ous little bird, which wa9 obtained in the neighbourhood of S. An- 

 drės Tuxtla. There is no doubt about its belonging to the Tyran- 

 nidce, but the form of the bill appears to be quite different from 

 that of any bird hitherto recognized as of that faniily, and to require 

 a new generic appellation. I have therefore called it Camptostoma 

 from the arched form of the culmeu. The specific name imberbe 

 refers to the entire absence of rictal bristles. I consider Tyrannulus 

 to be perhaps its nearest-allied generic form, from which, however, 

 it may be at once distinguished by the peculiar depth and compres- 

 sion of the bill. Dr. Hartlaub's Ornithion inerme belongs, I suspect, 

 to this sarae section of Tyrannida.

 Adult specimens of this bird in M. Sall^'s recently received col- 



lections from Jalapa seem to be quite the šame as Temminck's plate. 

 I believe the bird called Cyanocitta floridana in my former lįst to 

 have been the young of this species.

The Guatimalan species (C pumilo) which is figured as "C. 

 nanus 1" in the ' Contributions ' (1849, pi. 33) is perfectly distinct 

 from the present birds and Prince Bonaparte has done quite right in 

 keeping them apart. I n the C. nanus the throat is silvery whitish- 

 blue, whereas in C. putnilo it is quite dark, almost black.
