2g4 TANAGRID^, 



in M. Salle's Mexican collection. He did not describe it, however, till the following 

 year, when Mr. Gould submitted to him specimens of both sexes from Guatemala, 

 whence they had doubtless been obtained through the instrumentality of the late 

 G. U. Skinner. We subsequently secured a good series of examples from the same 

 country, where, however, its range is limited to the forest-region of Northern Vera Paz, 

 and thence into British Honduras. Its range in elevation is usually from the sea-level 

 to a height of about 1200 feet ; but one of our specimens came from the neighbourhood 

 of Coban ^, that is over 4000 feet above the sea. Sumichrast, too, speaks of it as an 

 inhabitant of the hot districts of Vera Cruz, and up to an elevation of 1600 feet.

A species with a very limited range, of which a male specimen first came into Mr. 

 Sclater's hands from Santa Marta in Northern Colombia, and formed the subject of his 

 description ^. The only other point on the continent of South America where it has 

 occurred is a little further south, in the valley of the Magdalena river and its affluents, 

 Salmon having found it at Eemedios and Nichi, both in the State of Antioquia. On 

 the isthmus, Mr. Wood observed it at the Falls of the river Truando, an affluent of the 

 Atrato, during Lieut. Michler's Exploring Expedition in the isthmus of Darien. Here 

 it frequented high trees near an encampment in the mountains, but was not often seen, 

 being shy and watchful ^. At Panama it appears to be more abundant, as M'Leannan 

 not only supplied us with specimens of both sexes, but sent others to Mr. Lawrence. 

 Moreover, Salvin himself shot a male at San Pablo Station near to where the railway- 

 bridge crosses the river Chagres. Mr. Lawrence, in his paper on M'Leannan's birds, called 

 his specimens JEuphonia gouldi, as was ascertained by Salvin in 1874 when examining 

 Mr. Lawrence's collection. Salvin himself also made the same mistake when determining 

 two female specimens sent by Arce from the neighbourhood of Chiriqui. These were 

 called E. gouldi ^ instead of -B. fulvicrissa, which they now prove to be. These speci- 

 mens give the extreme range of the species in this direction. In Costa Rica E. gouldi 

 alone is found. 



We have figured one of the Panama specimens from Lion-Hill Station.
