526 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON [Julie 3, 



quatus of Lawrence. An examination of Sclater's type in the Derby 

 .Museum, Liverpool, and a comparison of it with the present example 

 and others from Panama, have brought us to the conclusion that 

 Salvin's suspicions (/. s. c.) as to the identity of the two species were 

 well founded. The extent of the slight postocular spot has been 

 somewhat magnified in Sclater's figure; and though this spot is 

 hardly apparent in Mr. Salmon's specimen, it does not seem to us 

 to be sufficient to keep the two birds distinct.
