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

 has already been figured in one of the later livraisons of Du Bus' "Esquisses Ornithologiques" 

 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 

 figure of this beautiful species may not be deemed undesirable. 



Our figure of the male of this bird is taken from one of M. 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. 



August, 1867.
