X nthoura luxuosa guatemalensis (Somaparte). GuaTE- 
MALA GREEN JAY. 
This is a smaller form, with the under parts entirely pure yel- 
low or but slightly tinged with green, and the green of back, etc., 
rather duller. It inhabits central and eastern Guatemala, Yuca- 
tan, and northern Honduras. 
Dr. Sclater’s argument that the name X. guatemalensis of Bona- 
parte cannot be used for this form because Bonaparte describes 
his bird as having the under parts pure yellow, will not hold, for 
the reason that all the Honduras specimens examined (three in 
number), most of those from Yucatan, and some from Guatemala, 
have the under parts exactly as pure yellow as in any of the 
South American forms. 
Altogether, considerably more than one hundred specimens 
have been examined in connection with the preparation of the 
present paper.
