3. Momotus parvirostris is a name mentioned by Prince Bona- 

 parte in the same passage. He merely says it is " encore interme- 

 diaire," i. e. between M. brasiliensis and psalurus I suppose. The 

 bird intended, I should judge from the locality, to be perhaps M. 

 subrnfescens, 



4. Momotus varius, Briss. Ore. iv. p. 4G9 ; Gm. S. N. i. p. 357, 

 is an old name founded on Ray's Yayauhquitoll (!), concerning 

 which it is difficult to say much. 



The annexed table will serve to give a general idea of the geogra- 

 phical distribution of this family as far as I have been able to gain 

 information upon it.
