cies as unknown to him : G. giglioli, p. 113; Eugenes viridi- 

 ceps, p. 302 ; Oxypogon stuebeli, p. 336; Eriocnemis aurea, 

 p. 367 ; Ch^tocercus berlepschi, p. 414, and several others. If

 municated the types to him. For my part, I shall always be 

 glad to show my types, to Authors of Monographs.
