minus rufescente et fasciis alarum castaneis omnino absentibus. 
The receipt of a skin of the true O. /ewcophrys (Lafr. et D’Orb.) 
from Bolivia, has enabled us to separate from it this more northern 
representative of the same form.

We have as yet seen but a single ‘“‘ Bogota” skin of this distinct 
Ochtheca, which in general style of colour is much like O. setopha- 
goides, but has a much broader bill.

Hab. Columbia int. prov. Antioquia (Salmon). 
Mus. P. L. 8. 
Mr. Salmon sends us a single specimen of this Chloronerpes, which 
is quite distinct from any thing with which we are acquainted. In 
its upper surface it is most like C. malherbi, and is of about the 
same size. But it is at once recognizable by the yellow of the lower 
part of the belly. 
The sex of the single specimen is not marked; but, judging by its 
crimson cap, the bird is probably a male.
