In America the Trogonidee are strictly confined to the warmer parts of the southern

in Mexico appears to be Mazatlan on the Pacific, and the valley of the Rio Grande on the
Atlantic side. Thence they spread southwards over the whole intertropical portion of South

America, and as far south as the extension of the wood-region of the southern provinces of

Brazil. Trogons are absent from the more southern portion of the continent, as well as

.

from the western coasts of Chili and Peru. In the West Indies the two largest islands,

Cuba and San Domingo, have each a peculiar species ; but none have yet been noticed in any
of the other islands, not even in Jamaica or Port Rico, both of which possess forests suitable

for their sustenance. From the Antilles proper I exclude the island of Trinidad and

Tobago, which belong zoologically to South America. In Trinidad two species identical

with continental ones occur.
