I am not able to make this agree with any of the described 

 species of this genus. It conies nearest to T. caligatus, but dif- 

 fers in being more bronzy on the back, iu the hind neck and 

 gorget being of a rather dull green instead of blue, the upper 

 tail coverts clear green not bluish green, and the two centi'al 

 tail feathers dull bronzy-green instead of greenish-blue ; the 

 ends of the tail feathers are rounding, whereas in caligatus they 

 are square with an even terminal black bar ; in the latter the 

 white and black bars on the outer tail featliers are very decided 

 and regular, in mine they are quite irregular; the middle wing 

 coverts and secondaries are marked with distinct- white lines,
