Arce has sent two fine male specimens of this bird from the southern slope of the volcano of Chiriqui, a new and more southern locality for this beautiful species. 33. DIGLOSSA PLUMBEA, Cab. J. f. Orn. 1860, p. 411. V. de Chiriqui. As in the case of the last-mentioned species, the occurrence of Diglossa plumbea in the Chiriqui volcano indicates a more southern range for this hitherto purely Costa-Rican bird. The female of D. plumbea, as might have been anticipated, is not distinguishable from that of D. baritula, Wagl. It is olivaceous brown above, with dark ochraceous edgings to the wing-coverts and secondaries; beneath it is light brown, with an olive tinge over the breast and sides. 34. DACNIS VENUSTA, Lawr.

I can detect no differences whatever between an adult male from this locality and a specimen from Pebas, Upper Amazons, which has been called D. cayana (Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1867, p. 977). Two immature males from Chepo are somewhat intermediate between D. cayana and D. ultramarina, Lawr., inclining rather to the former. I should have expected that D. ultramarina would have alone represented this form in Central America, but such does not appear to be the case. Chlorophanes guatemalensis.
