Tlie type of the species described by J\lr. Lawrence as above was 

 sent to Mr. Gould, who pronounces it to be identical with 2\ chio- 

 niu'iis. Euphernsa cupreiceps, Lawr. (Ann. Lye. N. Y. June 1866), 

 on the other hand, is quite distinct, as Mr. Lawrence has shown. 

 Arce has sent a female of this second species from Tucurriqui.

The specimens sent agree Avith others from Panama, -which we * 

 have referred to this species.

David {Bridges). 



I am unable to distinguish any tangible differences between Pa- 

 nama and Guatemalan examples of this Piaya. I believe there is 

 but one species ranging uninterruptedly from Ecuador and New Gra- 

 nada to South Mexico. P. mexicana is readily distinguishable by 

 the coloration of its tail.

Santa F6. 



Veraguan examples agree with others from Panama in having a 

 .somewhat wider red band below the yellow throat and breast than 

 is usual in Guatemalan specimens. They belong to the race sepa- 

 rated by Gould as R. breoicarinatus and by Cabanis as R. approxi- 

 mans ; but this race is so very closely allied to the more northern 

 bird that I am unwilling to separate them.
