July 1879. ‘‘ Iris dark brown.” 
Mr. Simons sends us several specimens of this interesting 
novelty, which he obtained at an elevation of from 10,000 
to 14,000 feet above the sea, in the Sierra. Nevada. The 
species is perfectly distinct from O. guerini of the high moun- 
tain-ranges of Colombia, and also from O. lindeni from the 
high lands of Merida. Besides other differences, the colour- 
ing of the middle of the throat at once distinguishes these 
beautiful birds, that of O. lindent being white, of O. guerini 
green, and of our new species blue. In having a large 
amount of white in the tail, O. cyanolemus approaches more 
nearly O. guerini.
