Since the plate representing this species was prepared, we have discovered that the bird 

 has ah'eady been figured in one of the later livraisons of Du Bus' " Esquisses Omithologiqiies", 

 of which the text has never appeared. We are not sure that these livraisons were ever formally- 

 published, but, even if this should have been the case, they are so little known that a second 

 figm-e of this beautiful species may not be deemed undesirable. 



Om" figaire of the male of this bird is taken from one of ]\I. Boucard's specimens above 

 referred to, that of the female from one of Mr. Salvin's Guatemalan skins. Both of them are 

 in Mr. Sclater's collection. 



Attgust, 1867.
