During the first expedition to the Orinoco, a series of Hnt'honia 
from Altagracia, Caicara, Ouiribana de Caicara and Maipures were 
sent to tlie Tring Museum and identified by Berlepsch and Hartert, 
as pertaining to this species. At that time I seemed to have observed 
many more examples of this species than I did of E. trinitatis. but dur- 
ing the two last expeditions specimens of the latter species only have 
been collected. 
No specimens of this species were found among the birds sent to 
the American Museum by Klages either from the neighborhood of 
•Ciudad Bolivar or from points on the Caura River.

Venezuelan common name "Fin-tin" or "Sin-tin." On the recent 
expeditions I found this species common. 
A female in adult nuptial plumage (taken June 14th) is a rich 
olive-green above, below, chrome yellow with sides of breast and 
flanks a deep olive yellow. Females in what is probably the first 
nuptial plumage are quite different from those in adult plumage and 
resemble greatly birds in juvenal dress. A female in what I con- 
sider the first nuptial plumage, taken April 17th, is greyish olive- 
green above ; below, the throat, sides, flanks and under tail-coverts are 
olive yellow brightest on the under tail-coverts, centre of breast grey- 
ish, centre of abdomen greyish white. 
A male in juvenal plumage, taken May 30th is greyish olive- 
green above (of a lighter shade than the female of May loth) ; below, 
breast greyish, abdomen white, sides of breast light greyish olive ;
