368 MESSRS. P. L, SCLATER AND O. SALVIN _ [June 28, 
tricibus infra flavicantibus ; primariis intus ecrulescentibus, 
apicibus in margine interiore anguste nigricantibus: rostro 
JSusco, apice albicante; pedibus sordidis. 
Long. tota 8°5, alee 5°0, caudze 4:0. 
9. Mari similis, sed paulo minor. 
Obs. Affinis C. pertinaci et C. chrysogeni, sed pileo toto viridi, et 
macula parva suboculari differt. 
This Conurus, which Sclater has hitherto identified with C. chry- - 
sogenys, may, we think, be well distinguished from that species and 
the allied C. chrysogenys by the small subocular spot. C. chrysophrys, 
Sw. (figured in Souancé’s ‘Icon. des Perr.’ pl. 11), has a similar 
suborbital spot ; but has the head bluish, and the belly bright yellow. 
Mr. M‘Leannan has sent a pair of this species, apparently adult. 
223. CuRYSOTIS VIRIDIGENALIS, Cassin ; Souancé, Icon. pl. 31. 
Our specimens agree with the top figure of Souancé’s plate, having 
quite a narrow red front, and the whole head-feathers edged with 
blue. We suspect it may ultimately be found to belong to a distinct 
species from the true C. viridigenalis (which has a broad red front 
and green head), and perhaps entitled to the MS. name glauciceps 
of Hartlaub, given in Gray’s ‘ List of Psittacidee,’ p. 82. 
224. Pronus MENsTRUUS, Linn.; Lawr. J. c. vii. p. 299. 
225. CaicA HZMATOTIS, Scl. & Salv. 
Pionus coccinicollaris, Lawy. l. c. vii. p. 475. 
A specimen in the collection has an irregular red collar, as indi- 
cated by Mr. Lawrence, which is wanting in eight specimens of the 
Guatemalan bird. But, in the absence of all other points of distinction, 
we are unwilling to separate the two forms solely on such slight 
grounds as the development of a few red feathers (often seen abnor- 
mally in a Parrot). The other basis of distinction, viz. the dark 
red edging to the feathers of the crown, does not hold, as the Panama 
bird has them, while several of the Guatemalan birds have not. 
Mr. Lawrence includes Ara militaris, A. severa, Linn., A. macao, 
Linn., and Psittacus pulverulentus, Gm. 
Fam. Farconip&. 
226. Ipycrer AMERICANUS (Bodd.); Lawr. /. ¢. vii. p. 288. 
227. Turasattus HARPYIA, Linn.; Lawr. J. ¢. vill. p. 7. 
The Harpy Eagle is by no means an uncommon bird in the forests 
of the isthmus. Mr. M‘Leannan said that scarcely a week passed 
but he saw one or more. The day I left America, one crossed the 
line of railway. For a Hawk, its flight is slow and heavy. 
228. Spizaiitus TYRANNUS (Max.); Lawr. J. c. vii. p. 316. 
All three of the Spzzaéti of Central America occur on the isthmus, 
and range into Guatemala; they are all to be found in the ¢éierra
