The Catalogue of Birds enumerates 24- species of Pha'e- 

 thornis, aud one as not known to the author^ while Mons. E. 

 Simon, in ' Feuille des Jeunes Naturalistes/ 1897, p. 87, 

 says that the genus consists of 27 species, not counting sub- 

 species, and does not recognize Nos. 7, 9, and 34 of my list. 



Genus Cyanolesbia. 

 Mr. Salvin, in Cat. B. xvi. pp. 137-140, recognized four 

 species of this genus, viz. : C. gorgo, from Colombia and 

 Venezuela; C. coehstis, from Colombia and Ecuador; 

 C. mocoa, from Ecuador and the Cauca Valley ; C. smarag- 

 dina, from Bolivia. Under C. gorgo he mentions several 

 forms, and says : " It is quite possible that several well- 

 marked forms are here united, but most of the specimens 

 before me have their origin too indefinitely marked to justify 

 my attempting their separation." This remark of the 

 author was very true, and one may add that it is a general 

 fault of all collections of Trochilidse that too many speci- 

 mens are '' trade-skins" from the Indians of Bogota, Guate- 

 mala, Brazil, Guiana, Cayenne, and other places. The 

 origin of the so-called Trinidad skins is, in my opinion, not 

 yet known at all. The grand material brought together by 

 Buckley in Ecuador and Bolivia, too, was carelessly collected, 

 none of his skins having labels with dates, sexes, and other 

 details. Skins with sufficiently exact labels are compara-
