NOTES ON THE ANATOMY OF THE CUBAN TROGON. 



BY HUBERT LYMAN CLARK. 



Thanks to the kindness of Mr. Outram Bangs and Mr. J. L. 

 Peters, a Cuban Trogon (Priotelus temnurus temnurus) collected by 

 Mr. Peters, was some time ago placed in my hands for study. It 

 was well preserved in alcohol and in excellent condition. 



The pterylosis of the trogons was described by Nitzsch, who

 nearly as much so. The Cuban Trogon was not however seen by 

 Nitzsch and shows some peculiarities which are worthy of descrip-
