mountains, and, though closely allied to the latter, is apparently dis- 
tinct. The inniiature male of ctnv'nlf/nlat'lx does not materially differ 
from the adult, except in the absence of the glitterino- gular patch. 
The female is probably like the young male. The present species 
may be distinguished from ruhinoides by its somewhat larger size, this 
most evident in the ])ill; by the lack of green on the chin and sides of 
the throat; and ])y the usualh' paler under surface. The gular spot 
has generally a more coppery tinge, but this is not diagnostic. From 
aeqaatorlalh^ cervlnigularh differs in the less extent of the glittering- 
green of the crown, the lack of green on the chin and sides of the 
throat, and in the almost entire absence of reddish tinge in the color 
of the bend of the wing. 
This is the eastern variet)^ of the western P. aequator talis. Their stomachs con- 
tained chiefly insects, but they also feed on the flowers of a tall tree.

In one of the specimens in this collection the bill is unusually long 
even for true leadhcatrr!^ while in the other it is as short as in Helio-

Nine specimens, from Santo Domingo, west Ecuador. The female

bill and by the lack of butfy suffusion on the abdomen, in this latter

I took from a guava tree a nest containing 2 eggs belonging to these birds. It was 
very neat, covered on the outside with flat, pale-gray moss, and lined inside with soft, 
brown vegetable down resend)ling vicuna.
