754 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON [Dec. 5, 



Of this species I have examined a large number of specimens (ten 

 in my own collection, and eighteen in that of Messrs. Salvin and God- 

 man), and have quite come to the conclusion that Dr. Finsch is right 

 in saying that the so-called M. colombianus is not really separable. 

 The series examined contains skins from every part of the Central 

 American Isthmus, from Southern Mexico down to Panama, and 

 from Columbia, Venezuela, and Trinidad, the last-named locality 

 not being quite certain. The southern specimens are generally 

 smaller in dimensions. 



In this bird the remiges are narrowly bordered externally with 

 yellowish, and internally with pale fulvous. In neither case is there 

 any decided rufous tint. 



I have a small Bogota skin of this species, which appears to agree 

 very fairly with Heine f.'s description of his M. icterophrys (J. f. O. 

 1861, p. 197); and there are similar skins from Venezuela in Mr. 

 Lawrence's collection. But, in spite of what Dr. Finsch says (P. Z. S. 

 1870, p. 569), I think the differences are not sufficient to establish 

 a species upon. 



6. Myiozetetes granadensis. 



Myiozetetes granadensis, Lawrence, Ibis, 18G2, p. 1 1 ; Sclater, 

 Cat. A. B. p. 219; Sclater et Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 359, 1867, 

 p. 979, et 1869, p. 598. 



This is a very distinct species, about which there can be happily 

 no question. I have skins of it from Honduras, Panama, Bogota, 

 and Western Peru, and have compared them with Mr. Lawrence's 

 type from Panama. 



M. granadensis is readily known from all the preceding species 

 by the entire absence of the white eyebrows. The head is plum- 

 beous, with a concealed- median crest of bright scarlet (in the adult), 

 and with the frontal feathers more or less whitish. The back is 

 olive-green. The wins;? and tail are narrowly edged externally with 

 greenish, and internally more broadly margined with pale yellowish. 



7. Myiozetetes sulphureus. 



Muscicapa sulphured, Spix, Av. Bras. ii. p. 1 6, pi. 20.

Myiozetetes sulphureus, Cab. et Hein. Mus. Hein. ii. p. 61 ; 

 Sclater, Cat. A. B. p. 220 ; Pelzeln, Orn. Bras. p. 109. 



About this species there can be also no question, its great size 

 rendering it at once recognizable *. The concealed crest is of a fine 

 orange-yellow. 



Mr. E. Bartlett brought two skins of this Myiozetetes in his latest 

 collection from Chamicuros, Eastern Peru, one of which is now in 

 Messrs. Salvin and Godman's collection. The only skin I have is also 

 from Eastern Peru. Natterer obtained this bird in Central Brazil.
