I have one specimen of this bird in my collection, received from 

 M. Verreaux and marked " Brazil." It is most nearly allied to B. 

 semicervinus, mihi (P. Z. S. 1860, p. 84), from Ecuador ; but the 

 uropygium and body beneath are much more lightly coloured ; and 

 the back is olive and head cinereous, almost as in B. stragulatus, with 

 which it also nearly agrees in the coloration of the lower surface. 



4. Hylophilus insularis. 



Supra olivaceus, pileo et dorso superior e ochraceo-brunnescentibus, 

 dorso inferior e, alls extus et cauda viridescentibus : fronte, ocu- 

 lorum ambitu et corpore subtus pallide ochraceis, tibiis et crisso 

 virescentibus : tectricibus subalaribus pallide citrinis : rostro 

 corneo, subtus pallidiore, pedibus carneis. 

 Long, tota 4'7, alse 2'5, caudse 1*9, tarsi 0*7, rostri a rictu 0*6. 

 Hab. In ins. Tobago. 



I have a single specimen of this Hylophilus, presented to me by 

 Sir William Jardine, by whom it was received from Mr. Kirk, amongst 

 other birds collected in Tobago. It appears to belong to a well- 

 marked though hitherto unnoticed species of this little group, — the 

 bill nearly agreeing with that of H. thoracicus, though stronger and 

 rather more arched, and the feet being likewise rather large and 

 strong. The first primary is rather longer than in any other species 

 of the genus that I am acquainted with, measuring 16 (in.) from 

 the base of the wing to its extremity. In H. thoracicus, however, 

 it is perhaps quite as long proportionately, the wing of H. insularis 

 being generally larger than that of the former species. In its dull-olive 

 dress, brownish head, and pale buffy colour beneath, this bird is 

 readily distinguishable from other members of the group. 



5. Chlorophanes guatemalensis. 



Chlorophanes atricapilla, Sclat. & Salv. Ibis, 1859, p. 14, et I860, 

 p. 32. 



Similis C. atricapillo ex America merid., sed differt colore corporis 

 clariore viridi, capitis nigro nucham totam occupante, et rostro magis 

 crasso et elongate 



Hab. In Guatemala. 



The differences between this and the southern bird appear to be 

 so constant, although so small in amount, as to render a distinct 

 name necessary ; and I have therefore chosen one which indicates the 

 locality of the bird. 



6. Chlorophonia flavirostris. 



Psittaceo-viridis, remigibus alarum et rectricibus intus nigrican- 

 tibus, itlarum pogoniis extcrnis ccerulescenti-viridibus : subtus
