on the wings, tail, sides of the belly, and crissum ; glossed slightly 
with green on the upper wing and tail-coverts ; the middle of the 
belly pure white, chin and upper throat whitish. In the Museum of 
the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, I saw a bird resembling the pre- 
sent in every respect, except that the bill was white. It was brought 
by M. D’Orbigny from Guarayos, Bolivia. It was probably a male 
or full adult of this same species.

The short and long billed individuals doubtless differ in age or 
sex, but I do not know in what way. 
11. GALBULA ALBIGULARIS, Srix. 
Spix figures a Galbula , Av. Bras. ii. pi. 54, the only species 
among those mentioned here of which I do not possess specimens. 
His description is as follows : — G. minor ; violaceo-nigricans ; capite 
fusco-brunneo ; guld rostroque albidis / caudd brevi ccquali, subtus 
nigrd. Hab. Para. Were the belly white, the description would 
apply tolerably well to my G. inornata. Swainson’s G. lugubris , 
arranged by the Prince of Canino as a synonym of this species, is 
three toed, and belongs therefore to the genus Jacamaralcyon.
