by Dr. Hoffman at Agua Caliente, near Cartago, in Costa Eica. Subsequently examples were 

 also sent to Berlin by Dr. v. Frantzius. In Mr. Lawrence's Catalogue of Costa-Eican birds 

 it is stated that the Smithsonian Institution possesses skins of this species obtained at Angostura 

 and Frailes by the Messrs. Carmiol, and by Mr. J. Cooper at Navarro. Mr. Julian Carmiol 

 has also forwarded to Messrs. Salvin and Godman a single skin of a male of this Parrot from 

 Angostura. From this individual our figure has been taken. As far as we know, this is the 

 only specimen of Conurus hoffmanni in this country, but we learn from Dr. Finsch's recently 

 published work that examples of it have been lately acquired by the Leyden Museum. 



Apiul, 1869.
