«This exceedingly well-marked species of Trogon,” Mr. Salvin says, ‘‘ seems to occupy a position some-
what intermediate between the two sections represented by 7. massena and 7. puella, its real affinity being
with the former group. The credit of its discovery is due to Enrique Arcé, who was employed as a collector
by Mr. Godman and myself for many years in Central America.

“In a collection formed in the neighbourhood of Santiago and Santa Fé in Veragua and forwarded to us
in 1865, were two males of this species, which I described in the Zoological Society’s Proceedings for 1866.
Subsequently we received others, including females, from the Cordillera de Tolé, Calovevora ; and since
then the species has been discovered in Costa Rica, specimens having been sent by Carmiol to us, and to
the Smithsonian Institution from San Mateo by J. Cooper.

«The range of the species seems strictly limited to the forests of the mountain-ranges of Costa Rica and
Veragua, not passing the river San Juan to the northward, or the lowlands of the isthmus of Pamama to
the southward. No account of its habits has as yet reached us.”
