PTEROPHANES TEMMINCKII (Boissonneau) . 
Ornismya Icmminckil Boissonneau, Rev. Zool., 18.39, p. 354. 
Pterophanes temmineki Gould, Mon. Troch., Ill, 1849, pi. clxxviii. 
Seventeen specimens, from Pichincha and Corazon, Ecuador. This 
fine series has been carefully compared with birds from C'oloml^ia, l)ut 
they seem not to differ. Two immature males are like the adults save 
for a rather more golden cast to the plumage, together with the lack 
of steel blue on the primaries and the presence of rufous edgings on 
the feathers of throat and abdomen. 
At elevations of from 11,500 to 13,000 feet on Corazon and Pichincha, west Ecua- 
dor. Local name, "Gruesos." 
AGLAEACTIS CUPRIPENNIS AEQUATORIALIS (Cabanis and Heine). 
Aglalactis aequatorialis Cabanis and Heine, Mus. Hein., Ill, 1860, p. 70. 
Aglxactis cupripemiis var. iequatorialig Mulsant and Verreaux, Mem. Soc. Imp. 
Sci. Nat. de Cherbourg, XII, 1866, p. 210. 
Twenty-six specimens, from the following localities in Ecuador: 
Papallacta, Fadregal, Corazon, Pichincha, and Mojanda. The separa- 
tion of aequatorialis from true ciipripejiyiis is based on very slight 
characters, and if the former stands at all it must be on average 
slightly greater size, more l)lackish chin, and darker under surface. 
Birds from the eastern side of the mountains in Ecuador are paler 
below than those from the west side, and in this respect scarcel}" dis- 
tinguishable from true eujyrijjennis, but altogether the}' seem to be 
nearer aequatorialis. 
Met with in all parts of Ecuador at high altitudes, generally seen singly and 
perched on the summit of bushes uttering a mournful and monotonous note. Local 
name, "Quinde cafe" — coffee-colored humming bird. 
BOISSONNEAUA MATTHEWSII (Bourcier). 
TrocJiilus maUJiewsii Bourcier, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1847, p. 43 (Loddiges 
manuscript). 
Bomonneaua VKtitheumi Reichenbach, Troch. Enum., 1855, p. 8, pi. dcclxxxvii. 
Fifteen specimens, from Baeza, east Ecuador. Immature birds of 
both sexes have the middle of the lower surface chestnut, this color 
apparently spreading irregularly as the individual advances toward 
maturity. 
Met with only at Baeza, on the eastern side, where they were fairly plentiful in 
March, but not in very good plumage. Local name, " Pecho cafe." 
BOISSONNEAUA JARDINI (Bourcier). 
Trochilusjard'nri Bourcier, Compt. Rend. Ac. Sci., XXXII, 1851, p. 187. 
Boissonneauxia jardinei Snws, Cat. Troch., 1897, p. -9. 
Boissonneana jar dine i Hartert, Tierreich, IX, 1900, p. 141. 
Eleven specimens, from Nanegal, west Ecuador. The females have
