Most of these seventeen species are well-known forms preva- 

 lent throughout Central America. But it may be remarked 

 that the occurrence of Cyanocitta melanocyanea and Eumo- 

 mota superciliaris so far south is new to us. The former does 

 not seem to present any point of distinction from Guatemalan 

 specimens. But the Eumomota differs slightly from my skins 

 of this bird (obtained in Guatemala and Honduras) in having 

 the green colour much paler both above and below, and the 

 chestnut of the back and belly lighter and of a more buffy 

 tinge. 



There remains, however, still much to be done to complete 

 our knowledge of the avifauna of Nicaragua, and it is very 

 desirable that some one should continue Mr. Belt's inves- 

 tigations.
