 A very closely allied species to P. guyi of Venezuela, and perhaps not always to be 

 distinguished from that bird. Adult males, however, have the bases of the rectrices 

 and the upper tail-coverts distinctly tinged with blue, these feathers being green in 



the allied form. 



P. emilice was described by Bourcier and Mulsant from a specimen from Bogota, 

 whence we have received many examples, probably shot in the lowlands or deeper 

 valleys of the Andes. In the State of Panama near Santa Fe a,nd elsewhere in that 

 neighbourhood and in Costa Eica on the Atlantic side of the mountain-range this 

 Phaethornis appears to be a common bird, but it has not been detected on the line of the 

 Panama Eailway, though specimens formed part of the collection made during Lieut. 

 Michler's exploring expedition to Darien. These were named P. yaruqui by Cassin, 

 the bird of Ecuador, but they doubtless belong here.
