This bird ranges all through Central America and New Granada 
into the valley of the Amazon. I have compared specimens from all 
the localities above given, and believe them identical.

I am not sure about the locality of the specimen of this species 
in my collection said to be from Cayenne. It would seem to be a 
more southern species. Cabanis and Heine say, “ Brazil, Paraguay, 
Monte Video, and La Plata.” Hauxwell’s skin from the Ucayali is 
certainly referable here,

Hab. New Granada, Santa Martha. 
A fine specimen of this well-marked species is in the British Mu- 
seum. It was received through the Messrs. Verreaux of Paris from 
Santa Martha, in New Granada. Bonaparte gives “‘ Bogota”? as the 
locality ; but I have examined many thousands of Bogota skins, and 
have never seen a specimen of this bird amongst them. Bonaparte’s 
diagnosis of this species is quite accurate.
