It is just possible that this may prove to be the female of £. squamata ; for I have received many specimens from
Professor Jameson with wholly white puffs, which is the characteristic of H. lugens; while from another locality
one has been sent with partly white and partly red puffs: independently of the difference in the colouring of the

puffs, the latter birds are larger than the former.

Specimens from the Napo differ considerably from those received from Bogota,—a deep coppery hue pervading
both the upper and under surface, whereas those parts are green in the Bogotan birds. I have seen specimens

which I consider may be females or young of this species with wholly white puffs.

Proceeding from Mexico, southwards, through the high lands of the temperate regions of Guatemala, Costa
Rica, and Veragua, we there find several species of the well-defined genus Cyanomyia which do not pass the Isthmus
of Panama, while others occur in New Granada, Ecuador, and Peru. I have not yet seen any species of this form
from Brazil or from any of the eastern portions of the South American continent. They are all very lovely birds,
the colours with which they are adorned being blue, glittering green, and white, to which the red bills of one or
two of them offer a pleasing contrast. The females, although generally resembling the males, are inferior to them

in size and colouring. With these birds I commence the fifth volume.
