Ornithology of Guatemala. 
Vera Paz. Having obtained this species from Don Vicente 
Constancia, 1 am unable to say whether it is from Coban or the 
low lands.—0. S. 
This bird is no Clilorospingus, as placed by Bonaparte, but a 
very close ally of Eucometis crist at a of my c Synopsis/ and per¬ 
haps hardly sufficiently distinct from it.—P. L. S. 
19. Euphonia minuta (Cab.) : Sclater, Syn. Av. Tan. p.100. 
Coban. I obtained only a single specimen of this Euphonia. 
20. Dendrocops multistrigatus, Eyton, Contr. Ora. 1851, 
p. 75. 
S. Cruz, Vera Paz, December 1859. This is probably Mr. 
Eyton’s species, as indicated above. It differs from the South 
American Z). platyrostris (Spix) (which it greatly resembles) in 
having a longer, narrower, and paler bill.—P. L. S. 
21. MiTREPHort-us fulvifrons (Giraud) : Sclater, Ibis, 1859, 
p. 442. 
Duenas. A single specimen. 
/ 22. Chrysomitris notata (Du Bus) : Bp. Consp. p. 516. 
Volcan de Fuego, August 1859. It was on the edge of the 
deep ravine that divides the fire-cone from the other two of the 
Volcan de Fuego, in the stony, desolate waste lying on the 
eastern side of the last-mentioned cones, that I first met with 
this beautiful Goldfinch. I have since found it at Coban, and 
on the hills between San Juan Sacatipequez and Antigua, but 
did not obtain specimens from either locality. This is much 
more of a true Goldfinch than C. mexicana . 
^ 23. Icterus mentalis (Less.). 
San Geronimo, December 1859. One of the commonest of 
the many Icteri of this place. 
/ 24. Chordeiles virginianus (Gm.). 
Coban, Vera Paz. These different species of Night-jars are 
not easily to be distinguished on the wing. 
/ 25. Antrostomus vociferus (M ils.). 
Coban and San Geronimo.
