Huh, Trinidad and northern coast of Soutli America. (No. 32,719, %.) Head above, and nape, light plumbeous, washed very faintly with orange or oobrey brown ; cheeks paler, and pure ashy, running into the still lighter, almost white chin ; rest of upper parts bright '^live gre«D. Throat and breast (extending down a little more along the sides) bright greenish-yellow; the inner face of wings and inner edges of quills parer yellow. Rest of under parts white. Under surface of tail decided olive green.
