American Mmms down to foe Panama railway-line. We liave received specimens from
Costa Eica and Veragua, and a considerable series from Panama collected by Messrs.
McCleannan and Hughes. In the adult Panama birds, the rufous of the tail is particularly
bright, and the black bars well defined; and the cinereous breast is rather more pure than in
Guatemalan examples. Om- pi-incipal figure is taken from one of these Panama specimens
in the collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman. The younger bird, represented in the background,
was obtained by Salvin on the soutliem slope of the Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala.
