 Humming-birds that occur in what are commonly called 

 " Bogota '^ collections, that is, amongst the skins brought 

 into the capital of the Colombian Republic by the native 

 collectors from the surrounding districts. The skins, as is 

 well known to ornithologists, are immediately recognizable 

 by their peculiar preparation. A new species is described as 

 Cyanolesbia nehrkorni, from a single specimen in the author^s 

 collection.
