Mounted birds all in raoxilt. Condition only 

 average. These are the three specimens upon which 

 mesorhynchus v;as based. This comes dangerously close 

 to being a synonym of similis for the tv/o males could 

 easily pass for typical examples of that font.' The 

 female is a typical dark billed mesorhynchus . Since 

 this is the only specimen to which Cabanis &: Heine's 

 description of "Schnabel hell blSLuich - homfarben" 

 applies it is most logical to designate it as the type. 

 Otherwise a new name must be coined for the Costa 

 Rican race.
