(following Baird) into two groups : — first, those without any rictal

This species was originally described by Sclater from a single in- 

 different skin obtained by Botteri near Orizaba. The specimens b, 

 c, and d of his American Catalogue, subsequently referred to it, have 

 since been found to belong to P. boucardi. But Salvin has obtained 

 from M. Boucard' s recent collection a second (good) example of the 

 bird. This shows that it is a species very closely allied to P. (Bsti- 

 valis, but differing in its larger size, paler chest, longer and stouter 

 tarsi, and larger feet. In the colouring of the body above, the two 

 species approximate very closely.

"We have not yet seen specimens of P. ruficeps (Baird, B. N. A.

 second section.
