Mr. Gould on two new Trogons. 



237 



They are all from the Cordillerian Andes, a country the 

 rich zoological productions of which are daily becoming more 

 known to us. 



Of the two former birds, one is an additional example of 

 the genus Trogon as at present restricted, and may be cha- 

 racterized as 



Trogon personata. 



Trog. vertice, corpore superiore, et pectore splendide aureo-viridibus ; 

 loris, plumis auricularibus, et gutture nigris ; rectricibus caudse 

 duabus intermediis ex aureo virescenti-fuscis, ad apicem nigris ; 

 utrinque proxima pogonio interno et apice nigris, pogonio externo 

 ex aureo virescenti-fusco ; rectricibus externis nigris, lineis albis 

 crebris et undulatis minute fasciatis, ad apicem late niveis ; alis 

 nigris, tectricibus et secundariis lineis cinereis minutis et irregu- 

 laribus crebre fasciatis ; abdomine et corpore subtus coccineis ; 

 colore coccineo a viridi disjuncto lunula alba ; rostro aurantiaco. 



Fcem. capite, pectore, et corpore superiore fuscis ; rectricibus caudse 

 duabus intermediis sordide castaneis ; gutture et plumis auricula- 

 ribus nigris ; abdomine et corpore subtus coccineis, hoc colore a 

 fusco pectorali disjuncto lunula alba. 



Male. Crown of the head, all the upper surface and chest rich 

 golden green ; lores, ear- coverts and throat black ; two middle tail- 

 feathers golden greenish brown, and tipped with black ; the next on 

 each side have the inner web and tip black, and the outer web golden 

 greenish brown ; the outer feathers black, crossed by numerous fine 

 irregular bars, and largely tipped with pure white ; wings black, the 

 coverts and secondaries finely pencilled with irregular zigzag mark- 

 ings of light gray ; primaries margined externally with light gray ; 

 abdomen and under surface scarlet, separated from the green of the 

 chest by a narrow crescent of white ; bill orange-yellow ; feet yellow- 

 ish brown. 



Female. Head, chest and upper surface brown ; two middle tail- 

 feathers dull chestnut-brown tipped with black; the two next on 

 each side black on their inner webs and at the tip, and dull chestnut- 

 brown on their outer webs ; the remaining feathers black on their 

 inner webs at the base, largely tipped with white, the intermediate 

 portion being crossed by alternate irregular bars of black and white ; 

 wings as in the male, the coverts and secondaries freckled with yel- 

 lowish brown instead of gray, and ear- coverts black ; abdomen and 

 under surface scarlet, which colour is separated from the brown of 

 the chest by a crescent of white ; bill and feet yellowish brown. 



Total length, 1 1 inches ; bill, J ; wing, 5 \ ; tail, 6| ; tarsi, 



Hab. The Cordillerian Andes. 



In size and in its markings this species is very closely allied 

 to Trogon atricollis, but differs from it in having the under 

 surface rich scarlet instead of fine orange. 



The other belongs to that section of the Trogonida? to which 

 Mr. Swainson has applied the term Calurus, and which com-
