Show 1870.] MR. J. GOULD ON TWO SPECIES OF HUMMING-BIRDS. 803 gestive system, and urino-generative organs of this animal, as observed in the male specimen which died in the Society's Gardens in 1870*. This paper will be published in the Society's 'Transactions.' Mr. Gould brought under the notice of the Meeting two species of Humming-birds, which he believed to be new to science, and for which he proposed the names of Chaetocercus bombus and Thalurania hypochlora. They formed part of a collection made by Mr. W . Buckley in the temperate parts of Ecuador during the autumn of the present year, 1870. This collection was remarkable for the absence of many of the species, and even of the forms, inhabiting the high lands around Quito, and for the presence of others which are mostly found in Venezuela, Veragua, and Costa Rica. The collection comprised about 130 specimens of thirty species, of which the following was a list, with the localities wherein they were obtained : - , Cynanthus cyanurus Banos. mocoa Banos. Panoplitesflavescens Citado. mathewsi Banos. Phceoleema eequatorialis Citado. Phaethornis yaruqui Baiios. syrmatophora Ulva. Heliotrypha parzudakii Baiios. Docimastes schliephackei, Heine f.f .. Baiios. Heliothrix barroti Citado. auritus Canelos. * Helianthea lutetiee Ulva. Petasophora iolata Baiios. cyanotis Banos. - - delphince Citado. Bourcieria torquata Baiios. Lampropygia cceligena Ulva. Urochroa bougieri (?) Baiios. Metallura tyrianthina Ulva. Adelomyia maculata Ulva. Heliodoxa jamesonii (young) Citado. Spathura melananthera Citado. peruana St. Ines.
