Veragua (Merrifi). 



Arce has sent a specimen of a young Pigeon from Santa Fe, which 

 is just sufficiently feathered to show a dark purple gloss on the back. 

 I have little doubt it belongs to the fine species which Mr. Law- 

 rence has lately described.

 kindness I have had an opportunity of examining a specimen of C. 

 goudoti in the British Museum, and I find that it has strongly 

 arched primaries, with deeply excised inner webs, such as so clearly 

 characterize some sections of the Cracidcc. In addition to this, M. 

 Goudot, as quoted by Lesson, distinctly states tbat the tracliea is 

 without the curious fold found in Ortalida. These points, as well
