392 Mr. Osbert Salvin on 



America^ to the exclusion of the rest of America. Two 

 species are peculiar to Haiti, and two to Cuba; whilst 

 one inhabits the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala, 

 and another the mountainous parts of Costa Rica. All 

 the species are, I believe, inhabitants of the damp forests 

 of the higher mountainous districts, where a temperate 

 climate prevails. 



The following table will serve to separate the six 

 species.
