146 BULLETIN: MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 
Remarks. — True Chloronerpes simplex Salvin was originally described from 
Bugaba, and the type isa female ; since 1870 its range has been traced northward 
through Costa Rica to La Libertad, Chontales, Nicaragua! It is probably 
everywhere a rare bird; Mr. Brown never saw it during the time he was in 
Chiriqui, and the U. 8. National Museum has but one or two specimens from 
Costa Rica. The form just described appears to be, so far as can be determined 
from a single specimen, a very well-marked northern race, much smaller and 
otherwise different. It must also be a very rare bird, as I do not find it listed 
in any of the published accounts of collections made in Honduras.
