PREFACE TO PART VIII
The present installment continues the enumeration of the
American Oscines. It contains the list of the recognized species
and subspecies of thirteen families, including several important ones,
such as the Swallows, Vireos, Honey Creepers, and Wood Warblers.
While the majority of the groups treated in this part form well-
defined natural units, the delimitation of the Honey Creepers and
Wood Warblers presents unusual difficulties. Particularly, the first-
named family, as now understood, is a rather heterogeneous assem-
blage of birds showing wide divergencies in structure as well as in
habits. The genus Diglossa, for instance, looks very different from
the other generic groups classified in the same family. Ateleodacnis
and Conirostrum, on the other hand, bear some remarkable resem-
blances to certain Wood Warblers, and it is likely that their natural
affinities are with the latter family, to which they have tentatively
been referred by the late Robert Ridgway and others. The Wood
Warbler family also is far from being uniform, and some species of
the genus Basileuterus strikingly recall certain small tanagers in
general aspect and color-pattern. Anatomical researches may
ultimately help in determining the systematic position of these birds
of disputed relationship.
Style and scope of this part closely follow the standard adopted
for the preceding volumes. The author has again attempted to
indicate the actual (or in case of loss, the former) location of types,
and it is hoped that the results of this time-consuming, frequently
unsuccessful investigation may be of some service to ornithologists.
In perusing the list of specimens in Field Museum, it is well
to keep in mind that, owing to his absence from Chicago, the author
has not been able to examine every specimen himself, and it is
requested that any errors of identification or allocation be treated
with leniency.
Various museums and individuals have very generously cooper-
ated in the preparation of this volume, either by the loan of material
or by supplying information. To the names listed in the preceding
parts must be added those of Professor Herman Michel, Director,
and Dr. Moriz Sassi, Curator of Birds, in the Museum of Natural
History in Vienna, Austria, to whom the author owes a large debt
of gratitude for giving him free access to the collections and libraries
under their care.

but not permanently established at several localities in the United
States, although breeding for several years on Long Island, New
York.

Whether the Skylark really ever occurred in Greenland is open to doubt.
Neither Winge nor Helms nor Schalow know of any definite record, and its inclusion
in the Greenlandic fauna appears to rest on Droste's vague statement (Journ.
Cm., 17, p. 117, 1869) that two isolated specimens were shot "in America and
Greenland." (Cf. Winge, Medd. Gr0nland, 21, p. 316, 1899.)

As pointed out by Neumann (Journ. Orn., 75, pp. 374-376, 1927), it is not
at all unlikely that the unique specimen of Otocoris berlepschi Hartert (Journ. Orn.,
38, p. 103, 1890; Ibis, 1892, p. 522, pi. 13), said to be from "Caffraria," might
prove to be a melanistic mutant of C. a. rubeus.

In the absence of specimens from Mexico I am unable to make out whether
the purple martins reported to breed in the "alpine region of Vera Cruz" (P. subis
Sumichrast, Mem. Bost. Soc. N. H., 1, p. 547, 1869), in Guadalajara and Tepic
(P. subis Lawrence, I.e., 2, p. 271, 1874) are really referable to the present form.
It will be noted that Ridgway had only three breeding females from Guanajuato,
which admittedly were badly soiled with fatty exudation of the skin. Breeding
birds from Durango and Sonora have since proved to pertain to P. s. hesperia, a
circumstance that casts serious doubts on the identification of the purple martins
of southern Mexico. More information is urgently desired, the problem being
furthermore complicated by the occurrence in Sinaloa of a white-bellied form
(sinaloae).

*Progne subis cryptoleuca Baird. CUBAN MARTIN.

2
1
The range of P.
hesperia has yet to be determined.
s. Grinnell restricts
it to Lower California, and
refers Arizona birds to typical subis, although a slight
tendency to the characters of hesperia is admitted. Miller, on the other hand,
unhesitatingly calls them hesperia, with which he also places a single breeding
female from Fort Davis in western Texas. Van Rossem identifies a series of
supposedly breeding birds from Tucson as hesperia, but claims that four others
from the Chiricahua Mountains "are good subis." Specimens from Babicora,
Chihuahua, I cannot separate from subis. Though the females, by their slightly
whiter belly, vary in the direction of hesperia, these birds are among the largest
I have seen, the length of their wings measuring fully 150 mm. or more.
2
Progne subis cryptoleuca Baird is so decidedly intermediate between P. s.
subis and P. s. dominicensis that I do not hesitate to unite the Caribbean Martin
in the same specific group. Cuban females cannot be told by any character from
those of dominicensis, while five males, by the varying amount of white below,
form a nearly unbroken chain between the two "species."

Zool., 13, p. 13 (in text), 1906 part, "male" [=female] from Castare,
Tobago (spec, reexamined).
Range. Greater and Lesser Antilles (islands of Jamaica, Haiti,

Mona, Porto Rico, Vieques, St. Croix, St. Martin, St. Eustatius,
St. Christopher, Dominica, Martinique, Santa Lucia, St. Vincent,
Grenadines [Canouan, Carriacou], Grenada, Barbados) and the
island of Tobago. 1

A single adult male from Tobago has the throat and sides more suffused
with dark brown, less "solidly" violaceous steel blue, than is the rule in Antillean
specimens, but similar individuals also occur on other islands, one from St.
Eustatius being hardly distinguishable on this score. Such examples closely
approach P. c. chalybea, which is already found in Trinidad. A female from
Tobago, however, seems to be exactly like West Indian birds.

Progne (subis?) sinaloae Nelson is stated by Ridgway to be similar in colora-
tion to P. s. dominicensis, but to differ by smaller size (wing of males, 136-138;
tail, 67-72). Without any material from Sinaloa it is, of course, impossible to
express an opinion on the validity of the form, but it should be noted that various
individuals from the West Indies (St. Kitts, St. Eustatius) have even shorter
wings (132-133), though at the same time longer tails (77-84). Nelson's original
specimens, shot late in July, were probably breeding birds, while the only other
recorded example, a male in the Shufeldt Collection taken at Laguna Perdida,
eastern Guatemala, on March 14, 1920, may have been a migrant. The female
is still unknown. As in neighboring parts of Mexico (Tepic, Guanajuato, Durango,
Sonora) P. s. subis and P. s. hesperia are reported to breed, the status of P. sinaloae
is shrouded in considerable obscurity.

Birds from southern Brazil agree with a series from Paraguay in size, but
have the throat and foreneck, on average, less variegated with whitish. This
character, however, depends largely on seasonal conditions, the whitish edges
being apt to disappear gradually as abrasion advances, and certain Paraguayan
individuals are fully as dark-throated as any from Brazil. Birds from the plains
of eastern Bolivia (Santa Cruz, Chiquitos), while not quite so large, appear to me
better referred to domestica, although it must be admitted that no sharp and
fast line can be drawn between Azara's Martin and typical chalybea. Specimens
from Bahia and Piauhy (Parnagua) are hardly larger than others from Para and
northern Maranhao (Miritiba), which we have ranked with P. c. chalybea, but
have the paler throat and foreneck with whitish edges of domestica. In Argentina
the breeding range of P. c. domestica is evidently more northerly than that of P.
modesta elegans, but in Bolivia it appears to replace the latter, which breeds in the
highlands, in the hill country and plains of the east.

Breeding birds have been examined from the Rio Negro, Chubut, Tucuman
1
(Tapia, Santa Ana), and southeastern Bolivia (Caiza, Tarija). Adult females
are bright steel blue above like the males, while the under parts are very dark
sooty brown, the feathers being apically edged with whitish.
A female from Santa Fe (San Cristobal; Nov. 26, 1916. Robin Kemp) tends
toward P. c. domestica by having a distinct white abdominal area and broader
white edges to the under tail coverts, and raises once more the question of possible
conspecific relationship.
Material examined. Argentina: Santa Elena, Entre Rios, 2 (adult male,
Oct. 11, 1894; young male, June 21, 1894. A. H. Holland); Los Yngleses, Ajo,

Valle Grande, 1; Santa Cruz, 4 (two males, two females, Oct., 1889. G. Garlepp);
Caiza, Tarija, 2 (adult male and female, Feb. A. Borelli).
Progne modesta murphyi Chapman: Nearest to P. m. elegans, but with much
2
shorter and less deeply forked tail. Adult male without any, or with merely a
slight suggestion of the white patch on the sides of the flanks. Female very
differently colored, the upper parts mouse-gray, excepting a broad shining steel
blue band across the middle of the back involving the scapulars; crown and hind-
neck centered with dusky; longer uropygial feathers apically faintly glossed with
steel blue; lesser upper wing coverts and longest tail coverts steel blue, somewhat
duller than the dorsal area; lores and sides of the head blackish, becoming dusky
posteriorly; wings and tail duller than in the male; under parts mouse gray,
somewhat paler than the crown, the under tail coverts scarcely lighter than the
abdomen, apically edged with whitish. Wing, 136-139, (female) 134^; tail,
70, (female) 63; furca, 15^-17; bill,
10^-12.
This interesting martin occupies an intermediate position between P. m.
modesta and P. m. elegans. The male sex, while agreeing with the former in the
absence of the conspicuous white patch on the sides of the flanks, differs never-
theless by much longer wings; less violaceous (approximately dusky slate-blue)

gloss of the body plumage, which, moreover, is much duller and less extensive on
the lower parts, being confined to relatively narrow apical margins, especially
on throat and foreneck; mainly fuscous under tail coverts with but slightly glossy
apical edges; and horn brown instead of whitish under side of the shafts of the
primaries. A
topotype from Talara lacks all trace of white on the flanks, but
a male from lea shows there a few scattered white-tipped feathers. The female
looks very different from that of P. m. modesta, being much grayer both above
and below, with a broad shining blue band across the back. While modesta,
murphyi, and elegans are clearly representative forms, certain analogies in the
coloration of subis and murphyi in the female sex raise the question if all the
purple martins of North and South America are not merely races of a single
taxonomic entity. This point, however, cannot be settled before the breeding
ranges and interrelationship of the Mexican forms (subis, sinaloae, chalybea) have
been satisfactorily worked out, and in the meantime I prefer to maintain the
modesta group and P. chalybea as separate specific units.

Linne's rather vague diagnosis leaves it an open question whether he used
Marcgrave as his principal basis. While Marcgrave correctly says "totum corpus
superius, collum, dorsum, alae et cauda pennas habent coloris ex fusco cum gryseo
mixti" and "sub gutture et in pectore grysei est coloris, cum albo mixti, venter
est albus, uti et sub cauda albet," Linnaeus describes the bird as "corpore nigri-
cante, subtus albo" and adds "alba sunt gula, crissum, rachis subtus remigum,
abdomen." Since he accepts Marcgrave's vernacular name as specific term,
we may, however, follow Berlepsch and Hartert (Nov. Zool., 9, p. 14, 1902) in
taking eastern Brazil as type locality. The "Hirundo americana tapera" of Sloane
(Nat. Hist. Jamaica, 2, p. 212), also quoted by Linnaeus, does not belong here at
all, and may be a swift.

this color extends up over the sides of the neck. A single adult female from Chimbo,
Ecuador the only one we have seen from the Pacific coast has this grayish

sides of the neck and more distinct pale edges to the crown. The middle of the
breast is as heavily spotted with dusky as in P. t. fusca, but this is clearly an
individual feature, as Chapman noticed traces of these markings in only three
out of ten birds from the Pacific coast.
Additional specimens examined. French Guiana: Cayenne, 1. Venezuela:

Phaeoprogne tapera fusca (Vieillot) differs from the typical race by slightly
1
darker upper parts; darker brown and more abruptly defined pectoral band
continued along the middle of the breast by a row of coarse dark brown spots;
more purely white throat, this color also encroaching on the sides of the neck;
and, on average, longer wings.
The color characters are quite constant in a series from Uruguay, Paraguay,
northern Argentina, and extreme southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). Dimen-
sions, on the other hand, do not afford an absolutely reliable criterion, although
the present form frequently attains larger measurements than the northern P. t.
tapera. Specimens from central Brazil (Goyaz and Matto Grosso) are variously
intermediate between the two races in size as well as in coloration, but taken as
a whole seem to be nearer to fusca. As has been pointed out by Chapman, the
Southern Brown-chested Martin, on its winter migration, spreads into the breeding
range of its northern ally as far north as British Guiana, Venezuela, and Colombia.
Careful comparison of a number of specimens with a series of P. t. fusca fails to
disclose the slightest difference, and strengthens the belief that they are merely
migrants from the south.

Hirundo pyrrhonota Vieillot, 1 Nouv. Diet. Hist. Nat., nouv. ed., 14, p. 519,
1817 based on "Golondrina rabadilla acanelada" Azara, No. 305,
Paraguay.

With the exception of the blackish lower belly which may easily be con-
strued as referring to the dusky under tail coverts, Azara's description, upon which
Vieillot's name was based, is quite accurate, and the fact that he uses different terms
for the color of the frontal band and that of the sides of the head and throat clearly
indicates the Northern Cliff Swallow, in which the forehead is much paler than the
other parts, and not P. p. melanogaster. Furthermore, specimens from southern
Brazil (Sao Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul) and Buenos Aires, in coloration and dimen-
sions agree perfectly with birds from the eastern United States, the wing of the
males ranging from 110 to 117 mm., while their breast is as strongly tinged with
ochraceous as that of others from New England and Illinois. Even if P. p. hypopolia
be recognized, Vieillot's name would seem to be strictly applicable to the ordinary
eastern form of the cliff swallow.

Hirundo americana Gmelin (Syst. Nat., 1, (2), p. 1017, 1789) is exclusively
based on the "Hirondelle a croupion roux et queue carree" of Montbeillard in
Buffon's Hist. Nat. Ois. (ed. Impr. Roy.), 7, p. 346. This swallow, observed by
Commerson in May, 1765, on the banks of the La Plata River, is so incompletely
described no mention being made of the pale-colored forehead or of the rufous
color on throat and sides of the head that I concur with Sclater and Salvin in
considering it unidentifiable. Of course, there is a possibility that the variety
with rufous throat might have been the present species, but even this is doubtful.

Further subdivision of the Northern Swallow, as recently advocated
Cliff
by Oberholser, seems to be impracticable, the distinctive features claimed for the
birds of the northwest being altogether too unstable to be expressed in nomen-
clature. Very little is known regarding its migration routes. There is but a single
authentic record of its occurrence in Central America and only one from the
West Indies (Cuba), while it has not been found anywhere in western South
America. The only specimen affording any clew as to its southward route is an
adult male in the Munich Museum secured by S. Briceno in the Sierra of Merida
on October 16, 1898. Though common in winter, from November to April, in
southern Brazil (Sao Paulo) and northeastern Argentina (provinces of Buenos Aires
and Entre Rios), this swallow has not been met anywhere else in the intervening
country. Gibson's record of its breeding at Paysandu, Uruguay, is, no doubt,
erroneous.

It remains to be proved by an adequate series whether it is really the present
form which breeds in eastern Mexico. The extension of its breeding range to
Vera Cruz rests on a single example obtained by Sartorius in August at Mirador,
which may, however, have been an early migratory individual. None of the South
American specimens examined can be referred to P. p. tachina, all being consider-
ably larger and paler on the forehead than a series from Texas.
While one might be tempted by their close similarity to regard P. pyrrhonota
and P.fulva as conspecific, the breeding ranges of P.p. tachina and P.fulva pallida
so nearly approach each other, if they do not actually overlap, that it seems pre-
mature to propose such a radical change without more ample information than is
at present available.

Five birds from Tucuman, all taken in December, February, and March
appear to be inseparable from Mexican examples, with which they agree not
only in small size, but also in having the forehead chestnut like the cheeks and
throat. Burmeister, who was the first to obtain specimens in Argentina, recorded
it under the name of C. pyrrhonota, though definitely stating its characters. Griscom
has lately listed a specimen of this swallow taken on its southward migration at
Obaldia, eastern Panama, on October 6, 1930.

1 fail to detect the slightest difference between specimens from Haiti (fulva),
Jamaica (poeciloma), and Porto Rico. Both Baird and Ridgway separated the
Jamaican birds from those of Cuba, which they believed to represent P. f. fulva,
but, although P. /. poeciloma has of late been generally recognized, nobody ever
stated how this form can be distinguished from typical fulva, of the island of Haiti.
8
A Cliff Swallow of this group is reported by Boucard and Gaumer to be
resident in northern Yucatan. While Salvin and Godman (I.e.) claim a single
specimen from there to be similar to Cuban birds, Ridgway refers four skins to
"P./. poeciloma" of Jamaica, from which they are stated to differ only by smaller
size. Considering this divergency of opinion, it seems that the status of the
Yucatan form requires further investigation with the help of adequate series.
The record of a Cliff Swallow from Panama is extremely doubtful.

Petrochelidon fulva coronata (Lembeye) Exceedingly similar to P. /. fulva,
:
but the chestnut area of the rump decidedly more extensive. The amount of
rufous on the under surface, upon which Barbour and Brooks laid so much stress
for the discrimination of the Cuban form, is subject to great individual variation,
and does not hold when an adequate series of typical fulva is compared. Six
specimens from Cuba examined.

Hirundo coronata Lembeye, described from Gundlach's manuscript, is the
earliest name for the Cuban Swallow and supersedes P. /. cavicola, since Hirundo
coronata Lichtenstein (Preis-Verz. Saug., Vogel, etc., Mexico, p. 3, 1830) proves
to be a nomen nudum without nomenclatorial standing.

1
Petrochelidon fulva rufocollaris (Peale), in spite of its widely separated habitat,
isclearly conspecific with the West Indian and Mexican Cliff Swallows. Its principal
characters are the reduction of the bright rufous area on the forepart of the crown
to a dull chestnut brown frontal band; the white (or at best slightly buff-tinged)
color of the throat, cheeks, and auriculars; the deeper bluish black crown; and the
darker, auburn to chestnut (instead of orange-cinnamon to tawny) tone of the
prepectoral band and streaking of the sides. The axillaries and under wing coverts
are generally more grayish brown, less tinged with ochraceous. Wing, 99-102;
tail,47-51.

Petrochelidon fulva aequatorialis Chapman: Very close to P. /. rufocollaris,
but slightly smaller; prepectoral band and sides of the body more extensively and
deeper chestnut; throat and auriculars washed with tawny. Wing, 91-97; tail,
46-48.
Only one two specimens before me differs from eight Peruvian skins
of the
by having the rufous of the lower parts more extended as well as decidedly deeper
chestnut, and the throat (medially) and the auriculars tinged with tawny, thereby
approaching P. /. fulva. The other example (from Alamor) can be matched, except
in size, by various individuals from Peru. I must confess I am not quite convinced
of its validity as a race.
Material examined. Ecuador: Alamor, 1; Guainche, 1.

Petrochelidon andecola andecola (Lafresnaye and d'Orbigny) is a very distinct
species, differing from the other members of the genus by the absence of rufous in
its plumage and by the lack of the whitish edges to the dorsal feathers, but aside
from its larger dimensions and slightly wider rectrices I fail to find any structural
character to separate it generically (Haplochelidon Todd). In coloration of
upper parts it is not unlike Orochelidon murina, though the metallic gloss on pileum
and back is bottle green rather than steel blue, while the upper tail coverts are
hair brown with hardly a trace of greenish sheen. The two species are, however,
quite different underneath, P. a. andecola having only the throat light hair brown
in strong contrast to the buffy white breast and abdomen, and the under tail
coverts, at least the longer ones, grayish brown or dusky, apically margined with
whitish; whereas in Orochelidon murina the whole under surface is dark brown
(between drab and hair brown) with broad glossy metallic blue tips to the tail
coverts. Besides, P. andecola has a much larger bill, and the tail, composed of
wider, bluntly rounded feathers, is much less forked, while the under tail coverts
are much longer, reaching to within 11 to 15 mm. from the tip of the tail. Sharpe,
curiously, regarded the present species as juvenile plumage of Orochelidon murina.

With only two specimens for comparison it is hardly possible to pass a definite
judgment on the merits of this form. I notice, however, that the male is just as
green-glossed above as any typical andecola, while the female shows decidedly
bluish reflections. The color of the shafts of the primaries does not seem to be of
much importance, it being very nearly whitish in one specimen from Bolivia and
in another from Arequipa.

GUIANAN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW.
1
The occurrence of S. uropygialis in Brazil rests upon a specimen supposed
to be from "Bahia" in the British Museum (spec. i). This example, which we have
carefully examined, pertains to S. r. aequalis, but it certainly never came from
Bahia, having the characteristic preparation of the skins imported from Cartagena
and Barranquilla, in northern Colombia.
2
Birds from eastern Peru and eastern Ecuador appear to me inseparable
from Brazilian skins. A single specimen from Para likewise resembles the average
from Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, while one from Jujuy is among the palest in the
whole series examined, so far as the upper parts are concerned.
Additional specimens examined. Paraguay: San Luis de la Sierra, Apa High-
lands, 3. Argentina: Ledesma, Jujuy, 1. Brazil: Caicara, Matto Grosso, 2;

2; La Aroya, Inambari Val, 1; Chanchamayo, 1; Nauta, 2. Ecuador: Archidona, 3.
3
Stelgidopteryx ruficollis cacabatus Bangs and Penard: Similar to S. r. ruficollis
in having the lower rump concolor with the back, but upper parts including
wings and tail darker, fuscous rather than hair brown; chest and sides also slightly
darker; size perhaps on average smaller.
With the limited material at my command, I am hardly in the position to
pass a definite judgment on the merits of this form. A
topotype from near Para-
maribo and a single trade skin from Cayenne, while decidedly darker than the great
majority in a considerable series of ruficollis, can very nearly be matched by certain
individuals, notably one from Pernambuco (Beberibe, near Recife) and one from
Chanchamayo, Peru. Birds from Roraima are doubtful. The five specimens now
before me, all collected by H. Whitely in the early eighties, are appreciably paler
and browner above than any other example from South America and have the
rump buffy brown, these peculiarities haying already been noticed by Sharpe
(1888). Chapman, however, in discussing recently collected material from
Roraima, describes the upper parts as being as dark as in ruficollis, which leads me
to believe that the coloration of the Whitely skins must have undergone some
post-mortem change. I concur with Dr. Chapman that the Roraima birds, which
I had formerly referred to S. r. aequalis, cannot well be united to that form, although
by their somewhat lighter rump they mark a certain approach in their direction.

Stelgidopteryx ruficollis aequalis Bangs: Nearest to S. r. uropygialis in having
the lower rump pale grayish brown or dull whitish, in strong contrast to the much
darker color of the back; but throat paler rufous, and chest and sides conspicuously
paler brownish gray.
Birds from Santa Marta, Venezuela, and Trinidad agree well together. Two
from the Caura Valley (La Pricion and Maripa) are typically pale-rumped indi-
viduals of this form, showing no approach to S. r. cacabatus, and so are several
skins from the Magdalena Valley. Intermediates between aequalis and uropygialis
occur, however, according to Chapman, in the lower Cauca Valley and on the Rio
Sucio, in western Colombia.

birds from Panama Canal Zone. The Siquirres specimen merely differs by its
slightly paler cinnamomeous throat.

Stelgidopteryx ruficollis decolor Griscom: Very near to S. r. uropygialis, but
slightly paler brown above, with the pileum less blackish; rump as a rule nearly
concolor with, or only little paler than, the back, but sometimes fully as whitish
as in uropygialis; throat frequently paler cinnamomeous; middle of belly less
tinged with yellowish; under tail coverts sometimes unspotted. Wing (males),
110-113.
This is a very unstable form, consisting of intergrades of varying degree
between uropygialis and fulvipennis and its recognition in nomenclature appears
to be highly disputable. Of five birds from Chiriqui (Bugaba), two are hardly
distinguishable from Panama examples of uropygialis, haying a distinct whitish
brown uropygial area, bright cinnamomeous throat, yellowish abdominal line, and
long blackish tips to the under tail coverts. Two others, which have the rump
brown like the back, the throat faintly tinged with pale vinaceous-buff, and the
abdominal line as well as the unspotted under tail coverts nearly white, cannot
be told apart from fulvipennis. The fifth specimen is exactly halfway between the
two other sets. Similar conditions exist in the Te>raba Valley of Costa Rica. Cf.
also Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 19, p. 110, 1906.

Stelgidopteryx ruficollis fulvipennis (Sclater) is another connecting link to S. r.
serripennis, closing the gap between the North American form and S. r. decolor.
Certain specimens with a minimum amount of cinnamomeous color on the throat
run exceedingly close to the former, while the opposite extreme is not separable
from some Chiriqui birds (decolor). The fact that both S. r. fulvipennis and S. r.
uropygialis are reported to occur in the highland region of Costa Rica traversed
by the Caribbean Railroad renders the desirability of further information strongly
felt. As Mr. Bangs has quite correctly stated, the Rough-winged Swallows of
Central America constitute an aggregate of intermediates between the grayish-
throated serripennis and the rufous-throated uropygialis, varying to such an extent
that the discrimination of the several races proposed by Mr. Griscom and provi-
sionally accepted by the present author remains more or less problematical.

Stelgidopteryx ruficollis ridgwayi Nelson: Nearest to S. r. serripennis, but
conspicuously larger and much darker, the upper parts being deep sooty brown
instead of hair brown; breast and sides much more extensively and darker brown,
the light area restricted to the center of the lower abdomen. Differs from S. r.
fulvipennis by larger size and much darker coloration with less cinnamomeous on

As pointed out by van Rqssem (I.e.), the Sonoran form (S. r. psammochrous)
is not separable, its alleged distinctive characters being due to fading of the typical
series. Birds from Jalisco (May 9), while similar to serripennis in coloration, are
decidedly larger, and I am inclined to refer them to S. r. fulvipennis, though more
adequate material is yet required to establish their proper status.

Alopochelidon Ridgway is closely allied to Stelgidopteryx, but differs never-
theless in lesser extent of adhesion of toes, and in the absence of the recurved tips
to the barbs of the outer web of the outermost primary. It must be remarked,
however, that the last-named character is developed only in adult males of Stel-
gidopteryx. The style of coloration, too, is very similar in the two groups, though,
in Alopochelidon, the rufous color also largely involves the head, it being confined
to the throat and f oreneck in Stelgidopteryx. It is hard to conceive how this swallow
could ever have been associated with the genus Atticora.

average perhaps slightly smaller. Adults (sexes not different in size) measure
as follows:

Eight from Brazil (Sao Paulo) 98-104 45-49
Five from Roraima 96-101 42-47
Two from Venezuela (near Cumana) 94, 96 42, 45
This swallow had already been recorded by Reinhardt from Venezuela, but
the locality was questioned by Sharpe. The late Eugene Andr6, however, secured
two adults in the mountains near Cumana in March, 1897, which are now in the
Munich Museum, thus confirming its occurrence in Venezuela. It remains, on
the other hand, an open question whether this species breeds in Venezuela and on
,
Roraima or appears there only as a migrant from the south.

Neochelidon Sclater forms a well-marked group, recognizable by its propor-
tionately short tail, short wing-tip, and remarkably short hallux. In coloration
it bears a striking resemblance to some of the smaller swifts of the genus Chaetura.
2
Neochelidon tibialis tibialis (Cassin) is very little known to ornithologists.
Cassin described it from an adult of unknown origin in the Rivoli Collection, but
a young bird believed to be conspecific and contained in the same collection was
labeled as coming from "Brazil." It was reserved for Dr. Chapman to point out
that Cassin's type did not wholly agree with either the Amazonian or the Pacific
race. This author speculates on the habitat of the typical form, but, like Sharpe
and Wyatt, completely overlooks Cabanis's record from Cantagallo, inland of
Rio de Janeiro, where Carlos Euler had observed a flock of this swallow resorting
to holes in a steep bank. A specimen collected by Euler (Berlin Museum, No.
19719), when compared to the two other races, shows exactly the differences alluded
to by Chapman, and so does a skin of the characteristic "Rio" preparation in the
Vienna Museum. The University Museum in Cambridge, England, also has a
specimen from the Swainson Collection, which, according to its "make," originated
in southern Brazil. There can be little doubt, therefore, that N. t. tibialis is an
inhabitant of southeastern Brazil. The depth of the furca varies much within the
same limits as in N. t. griseiventris, which it also resembles in size, but the Brazilian
race is apparently darker underneath, nearly hair brown or olive brown on throat,
chest, and tail coverts. Since only a few old skins are available for comparison,
the difference may, however, be merely due to post-mortem change, and fresh
material from Brazil is urgently desired to settle the question definitely.

Neochelidon tibialis griseiventris Chapman: Similar to N. t. tibialis in size
and depth of tail-furca, but under parts decidedly paler and more grayish, about
mouse gray with a slight brownish or drab cast.
Native "Bogota" skins agree with Peruvian birds and doubtless come from
the eastern foot of the eastern Andes. One or two specimens are more brownish
below, thus verging in the direction of typical tibialis, though being still paler.

As has been pointed out by Bertoni (Faun. Parag.,
p. 61, 1914) and Wetmore
(Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 133, p. 343, 1926), Azara's description, the sole basis of
Hirundo cyanoleuca Vieillot, is not definite enough to decide whether it refers to
the species commonly designated by that name or to P. c. patagpnica. In view
of the fact that the Spanish naturalist calls "los timoneles inferiores negros" it
appears, however, preferable to adhere to current usage until more extended
collecting has been done in Paraguay and the adjoining parts of Argentina.

Further subdivision of the small form with fuscous under wing coverts and
wholly black lower tail coverts appears to be impracticable. There is no constant
difference between specimens from such widely separated localities as Costa Rica
and Argentina (Tucuman), nor am I able to distinguish a good series of skins
from eastern Brazil. The gloss of the upper parts is exceedingly variable, changing
from violaceous and deep indigo blue to greenish blue, but this variation is wholly
independent of geographic areas. I cannot help thinking that P. flavipes was based
on a juvenile individual of the present form with unusually glossy upper surface.
We have two specimens (and I have seen others) that correspond pretty well to
the description except for having the throat dingy whitish, the yellowish feet and
the soft yellow gape being unmistakable signs of immaturity. They were collected,
along with a series of adults, in the Tropical zone at Moyobamba.

Pygochelidon cyanoleuca patagonica (Lafresnaye and d'Orbigny) Similar to :
P. cyanoleuca, but larger; wings, greater wing coverts, and tail paler, less blackish;
c.
axillars and under wing coverts mouse gray rather than fuscous; shorter under
tail coverts white, even the longer ones basally whitish. The supposed characters
of the juvenile plumage appear to require corroboration, for I find much individual
variation among immature birds of the members of the genus.
Although Dr. Chapman has taken great pains in establishing its specific
distinctness, I cannot believe that the Patagonian Swallow is anything but the
southern representative of P. cyanoleuca. While admitting that the status of
P. c. cyanoleuca and P. c. patagonica in Uruguay and northwestern Argentina,
whence both have been recorded, has yet to be determined, the breeding range of
the latter is evidently more southerly, comprising as it does the greater part of
Argentina and the whole of Chile, where P. c. cyanoleuca has never been met with
during the nesting period. Certain individuals, moreover, are decidedly inter-
mediate, and the characters of P. c. peruviana tend to support the view of their
close relationship. Swallows being great wanderers, it is not at all surprising that
P. c. patagonica, on its winter migration, should invade the breeding territory
of the allied form, since similar conditions are known to exist in other species of
this family, e.g., Phaeoprogne tapera fusca. Its occurrence in the Tropical zone
at this time of the year does not seem of much importance in birds gifted with
such unusual powers of flight.

PERUVIAN
SWALLOW.
1
Pygochelidon cyanoleuca peruviana Chapman: Very similar to P. c. patagonica,
but slightly smaller; axillars and under wing coverts even paler grayish brown;
under tail coverts mostly black, with bluish reflections on the apical margins,
only the basal series with little white at the extreme base. Wing, 95-97, (female)
93-94; tail, 52-54, (female) 50-51.
While every one of the above characters may also be found in occasional
individuals of P. c. patagonica from Chile and Argentina, the series from the
Peruvian coast is so uniform that its recognition as a distinct race seems perfectly
justified. Birds from Arequipa are slightly larger (wing of males, 100-101; tail,
53-54), but agree in coloration with those from more northern localities.

This swallow is possibly divisible into two races, birds from south of the
Amazon being somewhat smaller with less deeply forked tail, the upper parts
ess purplish blue, and the white pectoral band slightly wider. The available
ieries is, however, not large enough to make sure of this distinction.
Additional material examined. French Guiana: Cayenne, 2. British Guiana:

VIerume Mountains, 1. Venezuela: Caura Valley, 4. Brazil: Maroins, Rio
Machados, 2; Rio Guapore', 1. Peru: Chaquimayo, Carabaya, 1.
2
Generic separation of this swallow seems to me unwarranted. The only
livergency of importance lies in the shape of the lateral rectrices, which are more
ilongated as well as more attenuated, producing a more deeply forked tail. I am
inable to appreciate the alleged difference in the degree of adhesion of the toes.
Range. British Guiana; southern Venezuela (Orinoco-Caura

basin); and the greater part of Brazil, east to the Rio Tocantins,
south to Bahia (Rio Grande de Belmonte), Goyaz (Borda do Matto,
Rio Paranahyba), and Matto Grosso (Rio Branco). 1

In agreement with I am unable to appreciate any racial variation
Chapman
in this species. The more
bluish or greenish gloss alluded to in my
paper on
Watkins's Peruvian collections appears to be a purely accidental feature, as it
is not borne out by additional material since examined. The type of A. cyanophaea
Cabanis, an adult bird from Bogota, does not differ in any way from various
Peruvian and Ecuadorian examples, nor can series from Colombia on one side
and from Ecuador and Peru on the other be distinguished by the coloration of
the under parts or any other character. What Sharpe described and figured as
"Atticora murina, juv.," is not the present bird, but Petrochelidon a. andecola.

North American birds generally have shorter wings and less deeply forked

tails,
not seem to be constant enough to justify the recognition of a separate race, for
which the name R. r. maximiliani Stejneger would be available.

from Point Barrow, Alaska, on the basis of a single juvenile example taken on
Sept. 15, 1928. The distinguishing characters of this supposed form, however,
are so slight, judging from a series from Petropawlowsk, Kamchatka, and other
localities in eastern Siberia, that certain identification of a single individual must
be open to serious doubt.

The American Barn Swallow extends its winter migration to the southern
extremity of South America, as is shown by an adult male in the British Museum
secured by P. W. Reynolds on Dec. 11, 1929, at Viamonte, Tierra del Fuego.
2
Records of H. rustica tytleri Jerdon from America (Duenas, Guatemala;
"Pard") are due to Sharpe's misidentification of certain unusually dark-bellied
individuals of the American Barn Swallow. A specimen taken by Natterer at
Rio de Janeiro and one of those collected by Reiser at Joazeiro, Bahia, could easily
be referred to that form, were it not for the fact that similar examples occur also
in the United States. There is no reason to assume that the so-called "tytleri"
are anything but migrants from North America. H. r. erythrogaster and H. r.
tytleri, moreover, are very close to each other, single birds being often quite
indistinguishable.

Iridoprocne albilinea stolzmanni (Philippi) : Similar to /. a. albilinea in the
restriction of the white wing-markings to comparatively narrow edges on the
tertialsand adjoining inner secondaries, but easily distinguished by very much
smaller, apically more constricted, bill; absence of the white supraloral streak;
duller and less bluish, andover green rather than lily green gloss on pileum and
mantle, the latter with the basal portion of the feathers grayish instead of white;
duller and more brownish, chaetura drab rather than chaetura black outer wing
coverts, remiges, and rectrices; grayish brown instead of glossy metallic bluish
green upper tail coverts; decidedly grayish under parts, particularly on the breast,
with the dusky shaft-streaks more numerous as well as more conspicuous; and
smoke gray, instead of nearly white axillaries and under wing coverts. The
uropygial band also is more shaded with grayish and more strongly streaked with
dusky. Wing (one unsexed adult), 92; tail, 48; furca, 6 A', 1 1
bill, 5 A.
Although have but one specimen, an adult bird just completing its annual
I
molt, there isno question that stolzmanni constitutes an excellent local form of
/. albilinea, its habitat being separated from the range of its ally by thousands of
miles. The exceedingly small bill which, in bulk, is less than half as large as that
of the Mangrove Swallow, serves to distinguish it at a glance. It is hard to conceive
how Sharpe could mistake it for the "immature" plumage of /. albilinea. Curiously
enough, no representative of this group has ever been found in either Colombia
or Ecuador.
/. a. stolzmanni has never been met with again since its discovery by the
naturalist after whom it is named, who secured four specimens in September,
1878, at Chepen, on the coast of Peru, one of which I have been permitted to
examine through the good offices of Dr. Mertens, of the Senckenberg Museum,
at Frankfort.

Argentina. Dabbene cites the Argentine Chaco (Ocampo, Mocovi) and Barracas
il Sud, Buenos Aires, on the authority of the late S. Venturi, but it should be noted
that the species is not represented in this naturalist's collections acquired by the
Fring Museum. It is somewhat significant that no other person ever met with it
in the vicinity of the Argentine capital, though it is admitted to the fauna of
Buenos Aires by Marelli, whose entry is, however, rather vague. I am likewise
inclined to question Burmeister's record from Uruguay (Mercedes, Rio Negro),
where /. albiventer has not been found again. It appears to be absent also from
the extreme south of Brazil, viz., the states of Santa Catharina and Rio Grande
io Sul.

1 am unable to recognize an upper Amazonian form (aequatorialis Lawrence).
Birds from Pebas and other Peruvian localities, which may be assumed to represent
that race, have just as much white on the wings as a series from eastern Brazil
ind Guiana, and do not differ in any other respect, so far as I can see. The amount
rf white on the tertials becoming greatly reduced with the progress of wear, partic-
ular care should be taken in using only specimens in comparable plumage. A
single example from the Magdalena River (La Playa) has by no means less white
than certain Peruvian birds in similarly abraded condition, though it is, of course,
luite possible that adequate material may show that the inhabitants of that region
verge in the direction of /. albilinea.

Though Azara's description is not absolutely accurate in every particular,
since the color terms used for the upper parts would seem to be better applicable
to /. leucopyga, the presence of the white supraloral streak attributed to his
"Golondrina rabadilla blanca" enables us to identify the bird with tolerable
certainty.

This is the Tree Swallow breeding in Uruguay, southern Brazil, and northern
Argentina (Entre Rios, Santa F6, Buenos Aires). Evidently it also nests in the
northwestern section of the latter country, for our series from Concepcion, Tucu-
man, besides adult birds (Sept., Oct.), contains a female in the brown-backed
juvenile plumage taken by J. Mogensen on January 22, 1918. A single adult
female, secured by H. Whitely on October 1, 1868, at Cosnipata, Peru, probably
a migrant from the south, is in every respect similar to Paraguayan examples.
Its range in the south does not seem to extend beyond Buenos Aires Province.
The Chubut record of this swallow by Durnford, perpetuated in literature by
various authors, pertains to /. leucopyga, as shown by one of his specimens in the
British Museum.

Iridoprocne leucopyga (Meyen) differs from /. leucorrhoa by decidedly blue

1
gloss of the upper parts, more blackish wings and tail, absence or mere suggestion
of the white frontal band and supraloral streak, deeper (velvety) black loral
spot, and generally darker grayish brown under wing coverts. The bill is, as a
rule, smaller, but I am unable to appreciate any divergency in the amount of adhe-
sion of the toes. It is hardly more than subspecifically distinct, being probably
the western and southern representative of /. leucorrhoa. Though much remains
yet to be learned about its distribution, it is evident from published records that
this tree swallow nests in Tierra del Fuego and along the Straits of Magellan.
The northern limit of its breeding area has yet to be determined, but it seems
to extend at least to the Rio Negro. As shown by an adult bird in the British Mu-
seum, it is the present species, and not /. leucorrhoa, as erroneously recorded by
Durnford, that lives in the valley of the Chubut. If Holland (Ibis, 1892, p. 196)
claims its breeding at the Estancia Espartillar, Prov. Buenos Aires, his observations
doubtless refer to the other species, I. leucorrhoa, well known to do so in that region.
Of the two specimens collected by him, which we have examined in the British
Museum, one, an adult in full molt, was taken in winter (May 15, 1888), while
the other, an adult male in newly molted condition, shot on October 6, 1889,
may well have been a migratory individual. C. B. Grant expressly states that the
Chilean Swallow is merely a winter visitor in the Ajo district of Buenos Aires.
His specimen, now in the British Museum, was collected on May 9, hence in
winter.

This appears to be the earliest certain name for this species, which is easily
recognizable among its affines by the stout, basally widened bill, and the short,
strongly curved hind claw. There is a possibility that Anthus chii Vieillot (Nouv.
Diet. Hist. Nat., nouv. ed., 26, p. 490, 1818), based on "Chii" Azara, No. 146,
might apply to the present species, as Azara's note on its song would seem to
indicate. However, his description of the bird is so ambiguous that it is deemed
best to drop the name altogether as unidentifiable. Bertoni (Rev. Chil. Hist.
Nat., 17, p. 219, 1913) claims to have rediscovered at Asuncion and "in the southern
region explored by Noceda" Azara's species, which, he adds, is probably of very
limited distribution and unknown to European ornithologists. Judging from
his remarks and measurements (wing, 62; tail, 47), I am inclined to believe that
he had in hand worn specimens of A. I. lutescens. Anthus turdinus Merrem (in
Ersch and Gruber, Allg. Encycl. Wiss., 4, p. 290, 1820) is another name exclusively
based on "Chii" Azara, and cannot be used for any other species.
It remains to say a few words on the much disputed "Variole" of Buffon (Hist.
Nat. Ois., 5, p. 63) and "Petite Alouette, de Buenos Ayres" of Daubenton (PI. Enl.,
pi. 738, fig. 1). Both were based on Commerson's drawing of a bird from the vicinity
of Buenos Aires, and no type exists. The figure is so poor that Ridgway (Bull.
U. S. Nat. Mus., 50, Part 3, p. 22 [footnote a], 1904) even suggested it might
represent a young shorelark, and every attempt at its identification seems futile.
The various names bestowed on it, a list of which is given below, must consequently
be disregarded as unidentifiable.

area on external rectrices slightly more extensive; size somewhat larger.
Mr. Zimmer cast doubts on the validity of this race, but all the specimens
in Field Museumexcept one happen to be in worn plumage, when the subspecific
characters are obliterated through abrasion. With an ample series of freshly
molted birds from Peru and Bolivia I have no difficulty in distinguishing A. f.
brevirostris from its southern ally.

Anthus
sp. inc. Sclater (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1886, p. 397 Sacaya, Cordil-
lera ofTarapaca, northern Chile) may possibly belong to A. f. brevirostris. Ambrose
Lane obtained a single young male, which Sclater thought to be nearest to A.
furcatus. Unfortunately, this specimen cannot now be found in the collection of
the British Museum.

Further subdivision of this form seems impracticable. Birds from Bolivia
and Tucuman are on average more deeply yellowish below, with heavier dusky
markings on chest and sides, and somewhat darker, less brownish on the upper
parts, when compared with Brazilian skins. The two series being, however, not
quite comparable as to season, more comprehensive material of this notoriously
variable group should be studied before any formal separation is proposed. Birds
from the Guianas and the adjacent parts of Brazil (B6a Vista and Serra da Lua,
Rio Branco), a single specimen from the Orinoco ( Angostura =Ciudad Bolivar),
and a skin of the well-known "Bogota" preparation, while identical with those
from eastern Brazil in coloration of upper parts and markings of lower surface,
differ nevertheless by the reduction of the dusky inner margin on the two lateral
rectrices, the outermost feather being almost entirely white as in A. I. parous.
Numerous individuals, however, can hardly be told apart, and the propriety of
maintaining A. I. abariensis on such a slight divergency seems extremely question-
able. Specimens from Roraima and Merum6 Mountains have, as a rule, larger
bills, but I have failed to discern any difference in coloration that is not attributable
to season. Chubb 's description of N. abariensis is fairly confused and, in several
points, at variance with the characters of the marked type.

Anthus lutescens parvus Lawrence: Differs from A. I. lutescens by darker,
brownish rather than buffy chest with heavier dusky markings; distinct dusky
streaks on the flanks; the reduction of the dusky inner margin on the lateral
rectrices, which is nearly evanescent on the outermost pair; darker brown edges
to the upper parts, etc.
Additional material examined. Panama: savannah near Panama, 3; Frances

average larger; upper parts with broader as well as more whitish edges to the
lateral interscapulars and paler markings to the wing coverts; ventral surface
whiter, with paler, if any, buffy suffusion across chest and along flanks; dusky
margin to inner web of lateral rectrices much reduced in extent, even more so than
in A. I. parvus.
Birds from northern Chile agree with a Peruvian series. This form appears
to be restricted to the arid Tropical zone. The localities "Tinta" and "Arequipa,"
as recorded by Sclater, Salvin, and Sharpe, are erroneous. There is no specimen

The pertinence of the Falkland Islands "variety" of Portlock's "Cinereous
Lark" to the Pipit was first pointed out by Mathews and Iredale, although the
wording of their explanation is hardly intelligible.
a
Azara's account of "La Correndera" is by no means clear and has been
referred to A. nattereri by Bertoni (Rev. Chil. Hist. Nat., 17, p. 218, 1913). Still,
various details in his description, taken in conjunction with the habitat, which
is said to extend to the La Plata River, where Natterer's Pipit is not known to
occur, point rather to the species we are accustomed to call by Vieillot's name.
I do not think there is any necessity for making a change in current nomenclature.

Specimens from southern Brazil are identical with an Argentinean series.
An adult female from Chacabuco, Neuquen, taken on the nest with three eggs
on November 14, 1907, also agrees in every respect with others in corresponding
plumage from Buenos Aires. Birds from Conception, Tucuman, all except two
(that were shot in June) obtained in August, appear to be likewise inseparable.
They are smaller, with shorter bills, and less fulvescent throughout, and have
considerably less white on the lateral rectrices than A. c. catamarcae, though one
or two individuals exhibit a certain tendency towards this form.
Additional specimens examined. Argentina: Buenos Aires, 7; La Plata, 2
(females, Nov. 6 and 15, 1882. E. W. White); Barracas al Sud, 6; Chacabuco,

Anthus antarcticus Cabanis, a very distinct species, differs from all other
South American pipits by its gigantic size, heavy feet and bill, as well as by the
rich warm buff under parts, coarsely marked with blackish all over, excepting
the throat and a small area in the anal region.
Two specimens examined.

Anthus nattereri Sclater, though resembling A. correndera in the excessively
long, moderately curved hind claw, is a very distinct species, differing, as it does,
by shorter wings, the absence of the buffy white interscapular stripe, and the
peculiar shape of the rectrices. The upper parts are strongly fulvescent or ochra-
ceous, more like A. c. catamarcae; the chest bright ochraceous, almost buff yellow,
with dusky streaks, which are merely suggested on sides and flanks; the light
areas on the lateral rectrices tinged with buffy or grayish buff. The tail feathers

Anthus hellmayri hellmayri Hartert, while agreeing with A. furcatus in the
strongly curved hind claw and the absence of the buff y white longitudinal dorsal
stripe, differs by having the chest and sides narrowly streaked instead of spotted
with dusky, and the outermost rectrix only marked with a cuneate grayish buffy
stripe, there being very rarely (in two out of twenty specimens) a suggestion of
a small apical spot of the same color on the penultimate pair. It is, no doubt,
quite distinct specifically, and in general appearance more like A. bogotensis
shiptoni, from which it may, however, be distinguished by smaller size, slenderer
bill, heavily streaked sides, and more extensively striped pectoral zone, the mark-
ings being, besides, narrower and more elongated. J. Mogensen having obtained
breeding specimens of both in December, 1924, at Las Pavas, A. h. hellmayri
and A. bogotensis shiptoni clearly are specifically different.
A. h. hellmayri breeds in the Puna zone of Tucuman. In addition to the
specimens in Field Museum, I have examined an adult male in very worn breeding
plumage shot by the late G. A. Baer in February, 1903, at Lagunita (alt. 13,000
ft.). During the severe season this pipit descends to lower altitudes.

Although the Brazilian form, Anthus chii" auct., was considered the same,
Hartert's diagnosis was exclusively based on three examples from the vicinity of
Tucuman City.

Anthus hellmayri dabbenei Hellmayr: Similar to A. h. hellmayri, but light-
colored apical area on lateral rectrices nearly pure white, at best with a faint
buffy tinge. In opposition to what obtains in the typical form, the penultimate
rectrix always shows a distinct white apical spot. Wing, 76-77, (female) 70-76;
tail, 58-64; bill, 10-11.
Breeding adults of this form we have seen from western Chubut (Valle del
Lago Blanco, Nov. 6, 1900) and Neuquen (Rio Traful, Dec. 12, 1907), and a
full-grown young bird was obtained by C. C. Sanborn on. February 11, 1924,
at Rio Lolen, Lonquimai Valley, in the Chilean Province of Cautin. In winter,
this pipit migrates northward and hibernates in the plains of Tucuman, where
numerous specimens have been collected at Concepcion in May, June, and August.
A male shot by Robin Kemp on October 18, 1916, at Las Rosas, Santa Fe, probably
was on migration.

Anthus bogotensis immaculatus Cory: Exceedingly similar to A. b. bogotensis,
but perhaps distinguishable by having the flanks less streaked with dusky or
even wholly unstreaked, and by the broader as well as more deeply rufescent
inner margin to the remiges.
I have not enough material to pass a definite judgment on the merits of this
form. While the type and an adult female from the Cuzco region have the sides
practically unstreaked, and one of our two males from the Huanuco Mountains
as well as an adult from Biscachal (near Carcuata), Bolivia, shows only a few
scattered streaks on the lower flanks, another male from near Huanuco very closely
approaches birds from more northern localities, notably one from Ecuador. The
broader, deeper rufescent quill-lining may be a more constant feature of A. 6.
immaculatus, but again several Ecuadorian skins are barely separable on this
score. For the present I must look upon immaculatus as a rather questionable race.

Messrs. Worthington and Todd (Wilson Bull., 38, pp. 222-223, 1926), after
studying a series of breeding birds from southern Florida and Key West, came
to the conclusion that they were inseparable from topotypical Louisiana specimens.
They consequently consider V. g. maynardi to be synonymous with V. g. griseus,
the range of which would seem to extend along the Atlantic coast as far north
as South Carolina (Summerville), whereas the name V. g. noveboracensis (Gmelin)
is revived for the form of the northern United States, which differs in brighter
upper parts and deeper as well as more extensive greenish yellow sides and flanks.

Vireo griseus perquisitor Nelson, known from a single specimen taken at
Papantla in March, appears to be a dark-colored race, with strongly yellowish
under parts, of the White-eyed Vireo.
*
I cannot see in this "species" anything but a well-marked resident form of
the North American bird with larger bill and more uniform under parts, since it
is approached in certain characters by V. g. maynardi, of the Florida Keys.
I fully agree with Mr. Todd that subdivision of the Bahama birds is un-
warranted, the larger percentage of the yellowish "phase" among the inhabitants
of the more eastern islands being hardly of sufficient importance to maintain
the distinction of V. g. flavescens. Specimens from the Cayman Islands (alleni)
are pronounced by Mr. Bangs, who had ample material for comparison, to be
identical with those from the Bahamas.

Mr. Todd separated the inhabitants of eastern Cuba as V. g. orientalis,
on account of more grayish (less greenish) dorsal surface, paler yellow lores and
postocular spot, and duller yellow under parts with more buffy suffusion and dark
shading on the sides. Barbour claims that the large series from various parts
of the island examined by him show the variation to be individual (dichromatic)
rather than geographic, while Wetmore is inclined to recognize two races. We
have not enough material to decide the question independently.
In spite of its pronounced characters we have no hesitation in regarding
V. gundlachii as a geographical representative of the White-eyed Vireo.

Vireo griseus modestus Sclater, though well characterized by the absence of
the bright yellow frontal and loral streak and the duller, more greenish color
of the sides, is clearly a geographic representative of the griseus group.

*Vireo carmioli Baird. 2 CARMIOL'S VIREO.

1
Vireo huttoni vulcani Griscom: "Similar to V. h. mexicanus, but olive-green
above with a slight brownish tinge, entirely lacking the dull gray tint on the
pileum and back, the rump scarcely brighter than the rest of the upper parts;
under parts in breeding adults radically different from any other race in being
almost uniform pale dirty yellowish olive." (Griscom, I.e.).
2
Vireo carmioli Baird, though not unlike V. griseus semiflavus in general
coloration, nevertheless differs very markedly by proportionately much longer
wings, shorter and more convex bill, and shorter, stouter tarsus. The lengthened
pale yellow superciliary streak is another striking peculiarity. Its habitat in the
Subtropical zone, taken in conjunction with the different proportions, makes it
probable that we have to deal here with a separate specific entity.

Vireo solitarius notius van Tyne: "Much like V. solitarius cassini, but charac-
terized by a very short, rounded wing and proportionately longer tail. Wing
tip shorter than tarsus; fifth primary longer than ninth; tenth (outermost) primary
decidedly larger than in the other known forms of the species. Wing, 63-65,
(female) 65-66; tail, 48^-50. Colored like V. s. cassini, but the upper parts,
especially the crown darker; crown and auricular region pure gray, not washed
with green; outer web of the outer tail feathers more extensively white." (van
Tyne, I.e.).
2
Vireo solitarius montanus van Rossem: "Nearest to V. s. notius, but decidedly
larger and under parts more heavily overlaid with dusky olive green. Wing,
68-69; tail, 52." (van Rossem, I.e.).
This race, according to the describer, differs from V. s. cassinii in slightly
darker, more leaden upper parts, darker and more greenish under parts, the
lateral tail feathers having more white on both webs, in having a much longer
outer primary, and more rounded wing, in which the fifth primary is longer than
the ninth.

Motacilla olivacea Linnaeus (Syst. Nat., 12th ed., 1, p. 327, 1766) has been
universally accepted for the Red-eyed Vireo, following Baird (Rev. Amer. Bds.,
1, p. 335, 1866), who sought to restrict the name to that species. Linnaeus never
handled a specimen himself, but based his description merely on the accounts
of earlier authors. Of these, the "Olive-coloured Fly-catcher" of Edwards (Glean.
Nat. Hist., 1, p. 54, pi. 54, lower fig.) is the Black-whiskered Vireo of Jamaica,
whereas "The Red-ey'd Fly-catcher" of Catesby (Nat. Hist. Carolina, 1, p. 54,
pi. 54, lower fig.) represents indeed the North American species. The third
reference, Muscicapa jamaicensis Brisson (Orn., 2, p. 410, 1760), refers partly
to the one, partly to the other species. As Linnaeus's diagnosis affords no clue
as to which one served as his principal basis, I see no way but to reject the name
Motacilla olivacea on account of its ambiguity rather than transfer it to the Black-
whiskered Vireo, as has been proposed by Bangs and Penard (Bull. Mus. Comp.
Zool., 67, p. 206, 1925).

mistake here with respect to the identification of either eggs or birds, as the Red-
eyed Vireo has not since been found breeding so far south.
Unquestionable Red-eyed Vireos from yet unrecorded winter localities,
1
which we have examined, are male and female, the latter in full molt, collected
by J. Natterer on March 9 and 3, 1831, respectively, at Marabitanas, Rio Negro
(Vienna Museum) an adult female shot by the brothers Watkins on November
;
29, 1910, at Yahuarmayo, Sierra de Carabaya, southern Peru (Munich Museum)

and two males obtained by S. Bricerio on October 20, 1902, at Merida, Venezuela
(Hungarian National Museum, Budapest).
2
1 cannot see in V. flavoviridis anything but a well-marked race of the Red-
eyed Vireo. While very different from the North American form, it is closely
connected with certain specimens of V. v. vividior as to color characters. The
Mexican form (flavoviridis), I admit, is rather larger than any of the "chivi"
races, but the gap is completely bridged by the smaller V. v. insulanus, the latter
having about the same proportions as V. v. vividior. There is apparently less
variation in the wing formula in the races of flavoviridis, the first primary falling
always between the fourth and fifth. Numerous specimens of the "chivi" group,
however, show the same shape of the wing. It will also be remembered that no
other vireo of this group, neither the Red-eyed nor any of the "chivi" forms, breeds
where a representative of the "flavoviridis" section occurs during the nesting period.

1 fully concur with Mr. Zimmer (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. Ser., 17, p.
414, 1930) in considering V. chivi to be conspecific with the Red-eyed Vireo.
Neither general coloration nor pattern offer specific differences, though in fresh
plumage the North American bird is distinguishable by its dull-colored ("washed
out") upper parts and very pale yellowish under wing and under tail coverts. The
shorter first primary of the South American races is very nearly bridged by indi-
vidual variation, although in North American birds this feather obviously is never
shorter than the fifth, which frequently obtains in the forms of tropical America.
However, as insisted upon by Mr. Zimmer, certain specimens of the two continents
run very close in that respect.

Various Peruvian records cannot be properly placed without reexamination
of the specimens upon which they were based, as the respective authors did not
clearly distinguish between the resident breeding form (V. v. chivi) and North
American migrants (V. v. virescens). The principal references are as follows:
Vireosylvia agilis Sclater and Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1866, p. 179

I.e., 1882, p. 7 Huambo; idem, Orn. Per., 1, p. 443, 1884 Peruvian
localities.

Further subdivision of this form seems hardly practicable. Birds from
southern Brazil, as far north as Rio de Janeiro, agree perfectly with a series from
Misiones, Paraguay, and the Chaco region. Peruvian and Bolivian specimens are
possibly slightly duller above and less washed with greenish along the sides, thus
displaying a slight tendency towards the characters of V. v. caucae. Two adults
from the Rio Chinchipe, northwestern Peru, appear to me decidedly referable
to the present form and not to V. v. griseobarbatus, with which birds of that
region were identified by Bangs and Noble. In northeastern Brazil, from Bahia
northward, these vireos are apt to become somewhat brighter in coloration, and
while a good many are indistinguishable from southern examples, others run very
close to the Amazonian race (V. v. solimoensis) .

Vireo virescens caucae (Chapman) Nearest to V. v. chivi, but back even duller,
:
less greenish; superciliaries whitish instead of buffy; cheeks and auriculars dingy
grayish rather than ecru drab; sides and flanks barely shaded with greenish. Wing,
67-71; tail, 47-53; bill, 12J^-14.
This appears to be a well-marked race, most closely resembling V. v, chivi,
but of still duller coloration. From its geographical neighbor, V. v. griseobarbatus,
with which it agrees in small bill and whitish superciliaries, it may be separated
by the darker (mouse gray), posteriorly less defined cap; much darker (dull citrine
to olive citrine instead of citrine to near warbler green) back; dingy grayish instead
of yellowish citrine cheeks and auriculars; much paler, marguerite to primrose
yellow instead of barium to citron yellow, under wing and under tail coverts;
as well as by having hardly any greenish on the sides of the body.
The range appears to be more extensive than was hitherto supposed, since
two native "Bogota" skins agree in all essential characters with a topotypical
series.

Vireo virescens griseobarbatus (Berlepsch and Taczanowski) Resembles
:
V. r. vividior in bright coloration (clear gray pileum bright citrine to warbler green
;
back; barium yellow to citron yellow under wing and under tail coverts; yellowish
citrine cheeks and auriculars, etc.), but differs by decidedly smaller size, particularly
shorter and slenderer bill, and by having the greenish yellow suffusion on the
sides of the body generally more extended. Wing, 66-70, rarely 71-72; tail, 47-53 ;
bill, 12^-13^.
In spite of the doubts cast by Mr. Todd (Auk, 48, p. 411, 1931) on its validity,
I find little difficulty in separating the west Ecuadorian form by its smaller size
and more extensively greenish yellow flanks from the Caribbean V. v. vividior,
whereas the distinctness from the Amazonian race, V. v, solimoensis, is much less
conspicuous.

Mr. Todd distinguished this form on account of its smaller size, basing his
separation upon a series from the Rio Solimoes, while specimens from the lower
stretches of the Amazon were referred by him to V. v. vividior. I fail to see, how-
ever, any difference whatsoever between birds from the Rio SolimSes on one side
and those from Manacapurti and the Rio Tapaj6z on the other. They agree
precisely in coloration and size, differing by their smaller dimensions from V. v.
vividior, of Venezuela and Trinidad. In the same paper, Mr. Todd claims that
these small, bright-colored birds are specifically distinct from V. v. chivi, since
both forms have "actually been taken together at Manacapuru and localities on
the Rio Tapajoz, as shown by specimens in the collection of the Carnegie Mu-
seum." Thanks to Mr. Todd's kindness, I have been enabled to examine part of
the material upon which his conclusions were based. While admitting that certain
individuals, notably two from Manacapurti, two others from Santarem, and one
from Miritituba, Rio Tapajoz, are strikingly like chivi from southern Brazil
and Paraguay, I find several others decidedly intermediate, and as similar variation
takes place within the range of V. v. vividior, e.g. in Trinidad, I cannot believe
that the differences denote specific distinctness, and would rather attribute them
to an unusual amount of variability, unless those dull-colored examples be migrants
from more southern districts. Altogether, it seems unlikely that there is more
than one specific group of these vireos in America.

VIREO.
1
Vireo virescens griseolus (Todd) Exactly like V. v. solimoensis, but under
:
parts distinctly washed with pale grayish, in particular on foreneck, chest, and
sides. Wing, 66-70, (female) 64-68; tail, 47-51; bill, 12-13.
I must confess that I am still a little doubtful whether griseolus and solimoensis
can be kept separate, although eight specimens from French Guiana are uniformly
more grayish beneath than the large series from the Amazon Valley. My
suspicions
as to its validity are mainly caused by its singularly restricted habitat. Mr.
Todd, it is true, gives its range as extending to the north bank of the Amazon.
Against this I have only to say that ten specimens from that region (Itacoatiara
and Manaos) in Field Museum, as well as two from Obidos, courteously loaned
by Mr. Todd, are much whiter beneath and, as far as I can see, absolutely indis-
tinguishable from a topotypical series of V. v. solimoensis. A single (slightly worn)
adult from the upper Rio Branco (Serra Grande) fits in, however, very well with
the French Guianan birds. It seems to me that more material is yet required to
establish the status of V. v. griseolus.
Additional material examined. French Guiana: Cayenne, 4; Pied Saut,
Oyapock, 2; Tamanoir, Mana River, 1; Saint-Jean-du-Maroni, 1.
*
Vireo virescens vividior Hellmayr and Seilern: Similar to V. v. chivi, but
considerably larger, with longer as well as heavier bill; pileum clearer gray, more
strongly contrasted with color of back; upper parts, including wings and tail,
externally brighter green, almost warbler green; superciliaries whitish, rarely tinged
with buffy anteriorly; auriculars brighter, yellowish citrine; under tail coverts and
axillaries brighter yellow. Wing, 70 (female) to 77 (male); tail, 50-57; bill, 14-16.
Though easily recognizable in a series, the color characters of this form are
completely bridged by individual variation. Even in Trinidad, where the racial
distinction is generally developed to the extreme, specimens are occasionally
found that can hardly be separated from south Brazilian examples of V. v. chivi.
Birds from British Guiana (V. roraimae) appear to be inseparable. They are fully
as large as those from Trinidad and the Caribbean coast of Venezuela (wing, 72-
76; tail, 52-57; bill, 15), but, together with birds from the upper Orinoco, they are
not quite so bright green on the upper parts, the color approaching citrine rather
than warbler green. A single adult from Marabitanas, on the Rio Negro, just
beyond the Venezuelan border, seems likewise to be referable to V. v. vividior.

Vireo virescens tobagensis subsp. nov.
Type from Tobago. No. 25100 Field Museum of Natural History. Adult
male. Collected April 15, 1892, by W. W. Brown.
Adult, Nearest to V. v. vividior, but on average larger with heavier though
not always longer bill; back, including wings and tail externally, darker and duller,
near dark citrine; auriculars and sides of neck less yellowish; axillars and under
tail coverts decidedly paler, naphthalene yellow instead of barium yellow to
Martius yellow; greenish suffusion of flanks paler as well as more restricted. Wing,
76-80, (female) 74-77; tail, 54-60; bill, 14-16.
Though heretofore united to the Caribbean form, V. v. tobagensis seems to
be well worthy of separation. By the dull coloration of the upper parts and the
pale yellow axillars and under tail coverts, it approaches V. v. chivi, but, besides
being larger in all proportions, it may be distinguished from it by the much clearer
gray, more strongly denned cap, whitish instead of buffy superciliaries, and
paler, less buffy auriculars.
Additional specimens examined. Tobago: Castare, 1; Mondland, 4.

Vireo gracilirostris Sharpe: Upper parts nearly uniform grayish olive or deep
grayish olive; wings and tail dusky hair brown, their external edges and the upper
wing coverts of the same color as the back, the greater series of the latter exteriorly
edged with paler; narrow, but very distinct superciliary streak (from the base
of the bill to above the auriculars) and loral region ivory yellow; sides of head and
neck deep olive buff; under parts olive buff, somewhat paler on middle of throat
and abdomen; under wing coverts apically passing into pale yellow; inner margin
to remiges very pale yellowish (marguerite yellow); bill dusky, lower mandible
pale brownish. Wing, 67, (female) 63; tail, 61, (female) 57; bill, 15.
This peculiar species is quite distinct from the continental V. virescens chivi,
from which it differs, in addition to coloration, by proportionately much longer
tail, very much slenderer as well as longer bill, and shorter first primary, the
latter being either equal to, or a little longer than, the seventh. In general colora-
tion it is indeed not unlike V. magister, though it may be readily distinguished from
it by much shorter wings, slenderer tarsi, much smaller and slenderer bill, the
absence of the dusky loral spot and the grayish suffusion on the sides of the body,
etc. I cannot believe that any genetic relationship really exists between these
birds, whose superficial resemblance is most likely to be explained by parallelism
of development. The origin of V. gracilirostris is quite obscure, it being the only
land bird of strongly pronounced characters occurring on Fernando Noronha.
Material examined. Fernando Noronha: 2 (British Museum and Vienna
Museum).

V. magister is nearly allied to, and may even prove to be conspecific with,
V. altiloquus. The investigation of their interrelationship requires, however, more
time than I can at present bestow upon this subject.

After examining the extensive series in the British Museum, I fully concur
with Mr. Griscom that V. cinerea is inseparable from V. magister. Even birds
from Ruatan Island appear to be the same.

*
and its races are apparently geographical representatives
Vireo altiloquus
West Indies and on islands in the Caribbean Sea, though
of V. virescens in the
the dusky submalar streak serves to separate them. It is, however, somewhat
suggestive that this character is less pronounced in one of the forms (V. a. grandior),
and perhaps the more logical course would be the combination of the Red-eyed
Vireo and its West Indian allies in one "formenkreis."

Messrs. Bangs and Penard (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 67, p. 206, 1925) have
clearly pointed out that Motacilla calidris Linnaeus (Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1, p.
184, 1758), principally based upon "The American Nightingale" of Edwards
(Nat. Hist. Bds., 3, p. 121, pi. 121, fig. inf.; Jamaica), is unrecognizable. I cannot
agree, however, to their proposition to apply the name olivaceus to the present
species for reasons given on page 130. Turdiis virens Boddaert (Tabl. PI. Enl., p.
16, 1783) and Turdus hispaniolensis Gmelin (Syst. Nat., 1, (2), p. 822, 1789),
both based on "Le Merle olive de Saint-Domingue" of Daubenton (PI. Enl., pi.
273, fig. 1) and Brisson (Orn., 2, p. 296, pi. 27, fig. 2), appear to me utterly
unidentifiable.

Individual and seasonal variation has been discussed at length by Austin
Clark, who arrived at the conclusion that further subdivision of this form is
impracticable. As far as our own material goes, I cannot but concur with this
disposition of the case, and refer the inhabitants of the Lesser Antilles (from St.
Eustatius to Grenada) to a single form, whose earliest name is barbadensis Ridgway.

Vireosylva gilva leucopolia from Oregon (type from Barley Camp, Warner

think it very likely that the V. leucophrys group will prove to be conspecific
1
with the Warbling Vireo (V. gilvus), as was intimated long ago by Ridgway (Amer.
Journ. Sci., (3), 4, p. 456, 1872).
4
Vireo leucophrys amauronotus Salvin and Godman is clearly but a geographic
race of the South American species. The palest specimens of V. I. mirandae
are just a faint shade more yellowish on the abdomen than Jalapa birds, the latter
differing only by rather longer wings, less dusky pileum, and warmer brownish, less
olivaceous, back. Moreover, the Chiapas race, which is autoptically unknown
to us, appears to form the passage between amauronotus and chiriquensis, combin-
ing the pale (whitish) under parts of the former with the dark-colored dorsal surface
of the latter. Adult males measure as follows: wing, 69-71; tail, 49-52; bill, 11-12.

Vireo leucophrys strenuus Nelson: Similar to V. I. amauronotus on the under
parts, but with the pileum much darker, deep sooty brown or sepia, and the back
more brownish olive.
Known from a single adult female in the collection of the U. S. National
Museum.

Vireo leucophrys chiriquensis (Bangs) resembles V. I. leucophrys in the deep
yellow coloration of the posterior under parts, but differs by brighter, more greenish
back and slightly duller pileum.
Though the characters are quite noticeable in a series, single individuals
are not always easily told apart. Direct comparison of adequate material shows
the alleged differences between chiriquensis and costaricensis to be non-existent.

1
Vireo leucophrys mirandae Hartert: Exceedingly close to V. I. leucophrys,
but on average paler yellow underneath, and the dorsal plumage also slightly
lighter, less brownish. Wing, 66-69, (female) 63-65; tail, 48-52, (female) 45-49;
bill, 11-12.
This
is a very poor race, barely distinguishable in series by its averagingly
paler coloration, particularly below. Santa Marta birds, of which we have examined
a small number, appear to be inseparable from those of the Caracas region. A
single female from La Cumbre de Valencia, though not different from the general
run of "Bogota" skins, must, on geographical grounds, be referred to V. I. mirandae,
if this form be maintained at all.

Vireo leucophrys josephae Sclater: Exactly like V. I. leucophrys, but with pileum
darker, more fuscous black. West Ecuadorian birds, of which we have examined
six, appear to be distinguishable by their more blackish cap. A single adult spec-
imen from Ricaurte, near the southern extremity of the western Andes of Colombia,
is similar.
1
Vireo leucophrys laetissimus (Todd) : Similar to V. I. leucophrys, but perhaps
separable by slightly paler coloration.
We have not enough material to form a definite opinion on the merits of this
race. The describer, who based it on ten specimens, calls it "the most strongly
marked of all the races," while Chapman states that his five Bolivian skins, though
on average paler, can be matched by east Colombian examples. The only adult,
a male from Chaco, Yungas, of La Paz, that we have been able to examine, is
indeed lighter, both above and below, than any other specimen from Peru, Ecuador,
or Colombia, but can be matched by some unusually dark individuals of mirandae.

1
We have not been able to make a close study of this genus and are not
prepared to commit ourselves on its merits. So far as the species is concerned,
it is a distinct one, however, and differs radically in coloration from any other
vireo, as inspection of the type specimen in the British Museum clearly showed.
2
According to Ridgway, this genus is "so nearly like Vireo that if Vireosylva
and Lanivireo be not recognized Laletes certainly should not."
There is no specimen available at present, but when we examined the species
years ago we were not much impressed with the generic value of its structural
divergencies, as compared to Vireo (s. strict.).
3
Hylophilus Temminck, set aside for a while in favor of Pachysylvia, again
becomes the proper term of this genus, since the supposedly earlier Hylophila
Huebner (Verz. Bek. Schmetterlinge, p. 396) was not published until 1827 (cf.
Hampson, Entom. News, 28, p. 466, 1917; Sherborn and others, Ann. Mag. Nat.

I now agree with Arribalzaga that Bertoni's bird is the Rufous-crowned
Hylophilus, and not Euscarthmus meloryphus (Wied), as intimated in a preceding
volume of this "Catalogue."
2
Two adults from Paraguay (Sapucay) and one from Misiones agree with
others from Santa Catharina in very dark (nearly blackish) auriculars, decidedly
yellowish under parts, and in having very little grayish suffusion behind the rufous
cap. In Sao Paulo, this form intergrades with H. p. amaurocephalus, which reaches
the southern limit of its distribution in the northern part of that state. Of five
specimens obtained by Natterer at Ypanema three are typical poicilotis, one is
less yellowish on the under parts, while the fifth is just as buffy below as Bahia
examples of amaurocephalus, from which it merely differs by proportionately
longer tail. Another adult male from Jaguaraiba, Parana, cannot be distinguished,
even in size, from the latter race. The fact that it is H. p. amaurocephalus which
inhabits the Parand region on the northern confines of Sao Paulo casts serious
doubts on Grant's identification of birds from the vicinity of Corumba, Matto
Grosso, as P. poicilotis, and reexamination is imperative in order to establish
their proper status.

Birds from northern Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes, while identical in colora-
tion with more northern examples, are slightly larger (wing, 56-58, against 52-55;
tail, 53-57, against 47-53) with stronger bills, and thus approach H. p. poicilotis.
Nordmann's type, although partly discolored by preservation in alcohol, shows
the same large proportions and, no doubt, came from Minas Geraes and not from
Rio de Janeiro, as stated on the label. An adult male from Victoria de Botucatu
and one from the Rio Parana, Sao Paulo, are typical of the present form, while
another specimen from the first-named locality cannot be separated from poicilotis.
Birds from Ceara (cearensis Snethlage) are indistinguishable from Bahia skins,
but their slightly smaller size, in comparison to those from Minas and Sao Paulo,
seems too insignificant a divergency to warrant their discrimination.

There is remarkably little variation among the ten specimens before us.
In opposition to what obtains in H. t. aemulus and H. t. griseiventris, they all
have the temporal region and sides of the neck dingy grayish, the cheeks pale
gray freckled with white, and the auriculars soiled brownish gray, very rarely
with a slight olivaceous tinge, which is, however, much less pronounced than in
the allied races. H. t. thoracicus differs, besides, by somewhat duller greenish
upper parts, grayish (instead of warbler green) sides of the head, more whitish
throat, brighter yellow (wax yellow rather than pyrite yellow) pectoral band, more
buffy instead of pale grayish abdomen, much longer tail, and darker horn-color
(plumbeous in life, according to Natterer) bill and feet. Wing, 57-61, (female)
55-58; tail, 55-60; bill, 12-13.
Material examined. Rio de Janeiro: Sapitiba, 2; Manguinhos, 1; Rio de

Hylophilus thoracicus aemulus (Hellmayr): Similar to H. t. griseiventris in

2
proportion of tail and pale-colored bill and feet; but occiput and hind neck mainly
dull warbler green with very little grayish suffusion; throat more whitish; pectoral
band brighter yellow as well as more extensive; posterior under parts medially
more whitish, only the sides shaded with grayish. Wing, 54-58; tail, 46-48;
bill, 12-13.
By the coloration of the under parts this race forms the passage to H. t.
thoracicus, partaking, as it does, of the whitish throat and wide bright yellow
pectoral band; but aside from its shorter tail and greenish instead of grayish
occiput and hind neck, it may be also distinguished by the less buffy, laterally
"Bogota" skins seem to be inseparable. An immature
distinctly grayish belly.
bird from Rioja has dusky feet and bill, showing this character to be only of
relative value.

Specimens from the Rio Purus and Sao Paulo de Olivenca are stated by Todd
to vary to a certain extent in the direction of H. t. aemulus. Guianan examples
are in every respect similar to those from the Caura River. Mr. Todd not only
separates this bird specifically from H. thoracicus, but goes even so far as to place
between them H. pectoralis and H. sclateri, an arrangement which, according to
my views, merely serves to obscure their natural affinities.

Hylophilus semicinereus, which I formerly regarded as a race of H. thoracicus,

seems to be specifically distinct, since a closely allied representative, H. s. viridiceps,

has been found living side by side with H. t. griseiventris in certain districts north
of the Amazon. Though similar in general coloration, it may be distinguished
from the last-named bird by lacking the yellowish jugular band and by having the
auriculars as well as the sides of the neck grayish instead of greenish.
Specimens from the Tapaj6z and Rio Madeira are obviously inseparable
from Para birds, as has already been pointed out by Mr. Todd (I.e., p. 191).

but dorsal surface duller, less yellowish green; the greenish suffusion on the sides
of the chest less extensive as well as duller in tone; the median portion of breast
and abdomen slightly more whitish, less tinged with grayish. Size about the same.
This is a very unsatisfactory race, not one of the above-mentioned characters
being absolutely constant. For instance, a specimen from French Guiana (Pied
Saut) is very nearly as bright yellowish green as Para birds, one of which, further-
more, has hardly more greenish on the lateral portions of the chest, while one from
Borba, Rio Madeira, has the abdominal line fully as whitish as northern examples.
In the coloration of the pileum and hind neck I fail to appreciate any difference,
gray-naped individuals as well as others with nearly uniform greenish upper part
of the head being equally represented in the series of both forms.

This is a very peculiar species, not to be confused with any other member
of the genus, andparticularly well characterized by its elongated, slender bill.
is
By possessing a distinct cap, this species approaches H. pectoralis, but has a much
longer, slenderer bill and considerably longer wings. It differs, besides, by
brownish mantle, much duller olive yellow ventral surface without any white on
the abdomen, earthy brown instead of clear gray head, etc.
The above description was made from the type specimen long before its loss,
when it was forwarded to me for inspection from the Warsaw Museum through
the good offices of the late M. Jean Stolzmann.
Hylophilus pectoralis Sclater differs from H. thoracicus (all races) by lacking

1
the olivaceous color on forehead and anterior crown, the whole pileum being
uniform light mouse gray like the sides of the head. The yellow pectoral area is
even brighter and more extensive than in H. L thoracicus, but otherwise the colors
are about the same in both.
The present bird is obviously specifically distinct, since its range partly
coincides with that of H. t. griseiventris.
Subdivision of H. pectoralis seems to be impracticable. While two adults
from Matto Grosso (Villa Maria) and one from Leopoldina, Goyaz, have paler
bills and the yellow area underneath deeper in tone, the original specimens from
Villa Bella, Matto Grosso, as well as the type of P. araguayae do not materially
differ from a Guianan series. Moreover, birds from northern Maranhao vary
considerably inter se, and one, an adult male from Tury-assu, very nearly matches
the dark-breasted individuals mentioned above. The type of P. thoracicus (!)
abariensis Chubb, which we have examined in the British Museum, is a perfectly
normal specimen of H. pectoralis, agreeing particularly well with Sclater's original
example from Villa Bella. If two forms were distinguishable, the northern one
would be entitled to the name griseiceps Penard, based on Surinam birds.

HYLOPHILUS.
1
The locality "Oyapock," French Guiana, is doubtless erroneous. I have
reason to believe that the collection, containing the two specimens in the British
Museum, received from Madame Verdey of Paris, actually originated from the
upper Orinoco. Todd also states that Klages failed to meet with the species in
French Guiana. It is likewise questionable whether H. b. brunneiceps descends
the Orinoco as far as "Angostura," whence the Berlin Museum has an example,
acquired from the natural history dealer Brandt, of Hamburg. It is more likely
to have been obtained farther up the river.
Hylophilus brunneiceps inornatus (Snethlage): Very close to H. b. brunneiceps,

2
but with slightly longer wings; throat nearly grayish white, not washed with buffy
or brownish; the remainder of the under parts more or less strongly washed with
yellowish citrine. Wing, 56-58; tail, 42-46; bill, 12-13.
This is a slightly differentiated race, representing H. b. brunneiceps south
of the lower Amazon, and distinguished by more grayish or whitish throat and
yellowish abdomen. Certain specimens from the Rio Tapaj6z, which we have
seen in the collection of the Carnegie Museum, run rather close to the "Angostura"
bird mentioned under the preceding heading. Mr. Todd places this form in the
vicinity of H. hypoxanthus, but we cannot see that the two species have anything
in common except a superficial resemblance in the coloration of the pileum.
Material examined. Brazil: Cameta, Rio Tocantins, 1 (the type); Santa
Elena, Rio Jamauchim, 1; Rio Tapaj6z, 6.

Hylophilus semi-brunneus Lafresnaye is allied to, possibly even conspecific
with, H. aurantiifrons, its close resemblance in the immature plumage to the
latter bird affording strong evidence for such relationship.
A single topotype from eastern Ecuador (San Jos6 de Sumaco) is so closely
matched by various Colombian examples that I am inclined to agree with Mr.
Todd in not maintaining P. s, leucogastra.

Hylophilus aurantiifrons saturatus (Hellmayr): Very close to H. a. aurantii-

1
frons, but under parts brighter yellow and more strongly tinged with buffy or
ochraceous across the chest.
Comparison of large series from Trinidad and the Venezuelan mainland
tends to demonstrate their identity. Neither is the pileum duller, nor are the
under parts paler in Venezuelan birds, as has been claimed by Ridgway, who
had, however, very little material. While individual specimens are not always
distinguishable from aurantiifrons, the more richly colored under parts render
the present form quite recognizable, when series are laid out side by side.

According to Todd (I.e.), a single specimen from the above locality seems
2
to be referable to H. a. saturatus. More material is, however, needed to establish

its subspecific identity beyond doubt. "Guiana," indicated for this Hylophilus
by certain early writers, refers to specimens of the so-called "Trinidad-make."
The species does not occur anywhere in Guiana proper.

Hylophilus hypoxanthus Pelzeln, though related to H, aurantiifrons, differs

1
nevertheless very markedly by the total absence of yellow on forehead and

supraloral region; much darker, olive brown or sepia brown pileum, passing into
buffy or brownish olive on the back and leaving only the rump and upper tail
coverts greenish, the tone of this green as well as that of the wing coverts, tail,
and wing feathers being considerably darker; dull brownish instead of bright
Isabella color sides of the head and neck; much more greenish yellow under parts
with just a faint buffy tinge across the foreneck; paler yellow under wing coverts;
narrower and more whitish inner margin to the remiges, etc. Wing, 59-60, (female)
54-57; tail, 45-46, (female) 40-43; bill, 12-13^.
Specimens from Sarayacu (H. fuscieapillus) are not satisfactorily separable
from the female type of H. hypoxanthus, obtained by Natterer on the Rio Vaup6,
and an adult of the same sex from Pebas, Rip Maranon, is also similar. Natterer's
male example from the Rio Icanna is considerably paler yellowish beneath with
a more whitish throat, doubtless an individual variation. Both Chapman and
Todd mention aberrant individuals from Manacapuru, just west of the mouth
of the Rio Negro, and La Merced, Peru, respectively. Without adequate series
from these localities it is, of course, impossible to properly explain the significance
of this variation.

Hylophilus hypoxanthus albigula (Chapman): Very similar to H. h. hypo-

1
xanthus, but under parts richer and brighter, lemon yellow rather than barium
yellow, without the faint buffy tinge across the foreneck; throat generally of a
purer, more grayish white, less buffy; and back brighter, brownish citrine rather
than buffy olive. Wing, 58-61, (female) 55-57; tail, 45-49, (female) 43-44; bill,
12-13^.
The best character to recognize this form is the brighter, richer yel-
by which
low color of the under parts. However, one specimen, a female from the Rio Purus
(Nova Olinda), is much paler than the others, with slight whitish flammulations
on the breast, and closely resembles the male of H. hypoxanthus from the Rio
Iganna, which has also the throat very nearly as whitish.

Hylophilus olivaceus Tschudi, a little-known species, seems to be allied to
H. flavipes. The proportions and the shape of the pale brown bill are about the
same, and the general style of coloration, including the pale brown feet, is very
similar. The Peruvian bird differs, however, by duller (yellowish olive) upper
parts, more yellowish forehead, more greenish sides of the head, and uniform olive
yellow under parts from chin to tail coverts, with just a few white-tipped feathers
1
in the anal region. Wing, (male) 60 A, (female) 58; tail, 55, (female) 49; bill, 13.
We have examined an adult male from Chirimoto and a molting female from
Huambo, Dept. San Martin, Peru, which agree substantially with Tschudi's
rather vague account. Moreover, they had been compared and found identical
with the type, as stated by Taczanowski (Orn. Pe>., 1, p. 447), who, at the same
time, corrects some inaccuracies in Tschudi's description. On the other hand,
I am not quite certain that east Ecuadorian birds are the same, judging from
Chapman's and notably Todd's remarks: "Below buffy whitish, the throat, breast,
and sides heavily shaded with olive yellow" and "more brownish on the pileum."
Their specimens may have been immature, however, since Taczanowski (Proc.
Zool. Soc. Lond., 1885, p. 75) pronounced a male from Mapoto to be "identique
aux oiseaux pSruviens."

Hylophilus flavipes viridiflavus Lawrence is certainly nothing but a well-
marked race, differing from H. f. flavipes by brighter, warbler green rather than
dark citrine, upper parts; grayish instead of buffy yellow sides of the head with
more whitish supraloral streak; grayish white throat and bright yellow (near amber
yellow) under parts without any buffy posteriorly.
While admitting that birds from Chiriqui and Costa Rica (pallescens) average
slightly darker (olive citrine rather than citrine) above and a trifle more buffy
on the chest, I do not consider this insignificant variation worthy of recognition
in nomenclature.

Birds from Margarita Island (H. griseipes) are identical with those from
the opposite Venezuelan coast (vicinity of Cumana), whereas specimens from the
banks of the Orinoco and from Caracas westwards have, on average, more yellowish
or greenish suffusion on the flanks. However, this variation is too erratic and
unstable to justify the recognition of an eastern form, for which Richmond's term
would be available. In the Maracaibo basin intergradation to H. f. flavipes takes
place, and certain individuals can very nearly be matched by Bogota skins. It is

of the back, while the maxilla appears to be more blackish. However, similar
specimens occur, also, on the Venezuelan mainland. Dalmas's description is dis-
figured by a misleading misprint, the length of the tail being given as 57 instead
of 47. We
have examined the types of H. insularis and H, pallidifrons and found
them both to belong to the present form, the first-named being slightly immature.

In agreement with Carriker and Todd, I consider the alleged southern race,
1
H. to be inseparable. While admitting that certain Costa Rican

o. pallidipectus,
examples are paler below, the majority of the southern birds cannot be distin-
guished, a good many from the Terraba region being even darker ochraceous on the
chest than two (out of four) Guatemalan skins.

2
upper parts and wings externally with less brownish wash, more greenish, under
parts also slightly more greenish, the breast with less buffy shading." (Todd, I.e.).
This form, which we have not seen, according to Todd is intermediate between
ochraceiceps and bulunensis, differing from the latter by more brownish upper, and
less yellowish under parts. Its supposedly smaller size is open to question, as the
original specimens may have been wrongly sexed.

grayish. Wing (male), 57; tail, 39; bill, 13.
Two specimens from eastern Panama (Mount Sapo), while not quite so
greenish as the type, are near enough to be referred to the same form. H. o.
bulunensis connects the Central American races with H. o. ferrugineifrons. It
approaches the latter in the greenish edges to the remiges and the coloration of
the dorsal surface, but is strongly tinged with olive yellow underneath, where
H. o. ferrugineifrons is mainly dull whitish, shaded with ecru olive across chest
and along flanks.

Specimens from Venezuela (Orinoco-Caura basin) agree substantially with

Ecuador (Sarayacu) and one from the upper Rio Negro are similar except that the
latter has more buffy yellowish under parts than any other individual we have
seen. A female from the Rio Jurua, Brazil, by paler forehead and brighter greenish
back closely approaches H. o. viridior.

*Hylophilus ochraceiceps viridior (Todd): Similar to H. o. ferrugineifrons,

but anterior crown paler, orange citrine rather than antique brown, and back
and outer margins of remiges fresher, purer green (between citrine and dark
citrine), without any brownish suffusion on the mantle. Wing (males), 58-61;
tail, 42-44; bill, 12-13.
Except for its slightly more yellowish under parts doubtless an individual
variation a single adult male from southeastern Peru (Yahuarmayo) agrees
perfectly with Bolivian topotypes courteously lent by Mr. Todd. Although
approached by occasional individuals from within the range of ferrugineifrons,
the present form is distinguishable by its paler russet forehead and fresh green,
nearly uniform dorsal surface, whereas in the northern race the upper and middle
portions of the back are always conspicuously suffused with brownish, the rump
alone being of a duller green.

The assumption that the type might have come from the "Rio Negro"
proves to be fallacious. When advancing this theory (Nov. Zool., 17, p. 267,
1910), I was misled by the date "1850" on the label, which I took for the year
when the bird had been collected. I have since found out that it indicates the
date when the specimen was received in London. Moreover, the type agrees with
specimens from the Par region, where alone H. o. rubrifrons has been met with,
whereas on the Rio Negro it is replaced by another form, H. o. ferrugineifrons.

1 find it impracticable to recognize an alleged southern form (H. d. pusillus).
Neither the smaller size nor the supposed color characters (paler gray and less
sharply defined cap and more yellowish green back) appear to me sufficiently
constant to justify its discrimination. A single adult from the Panama Railroad
(topotypical pusillus) differs, it is true, from all the others by more yellowish dorsal
surface and by having the hind part of the crown suffused with olivaceous, but
whether this is a constant feature in birds from the Canal Zone or merely indicates
intergradation to H. d. darienensis remains to be determined by an adequate
series. Two specimens from Chiriquf (Boquete) show faint greenish edges on the
crown; otherwise they resemble birds from the TSrraba Valley and eastern Costa
Rica.

SHRIKE-VIREO.

Lawrencia Ridgway differs from the other genera of vireos, according to
Wetmore, "in the broad, depressed, triangular bill, the width of which at the
frontal antiae is more than twice the depth at this point." Another striking
feature lies in the elongated, slender tarsus. In anatomical characters the bird
offers likewise some peculiarities, the skull being distinctly broader, the lower
margin of the lachrymals extending outward only to the inner margin of the
zygoma, and the outer margin of the processus maxillaris of the premaxilla being
decidedly convex (Wetmore, I.e.). Altogether, the Flat-billed Vireo seems to be
rather an aberrant member of the family.

Smaragdolanius pulchellus mutabilis (Nelson): Similar to S. p. eximius, but
supraloral part of yellow superciliary stripe broader; a tinge of yellowish green
suffuses and nearly replaces blue on forehead back to about middle of orbits;
auriculars bordered posteriorly with blue, of the same tone as the crown; chin and
throat bright canary yellow changing rather abruptly into, and contrasting
with, yellowish green of lower neck and breast (in eximius chin is more greenish
yellow and shades gradually over throat to green of breast); rest of under
parts paler and more yellowish; under tail coverts canary yellow like throat.
Wing (female), 70; tail, 44; bill, 19. (Nelson, I.e.)
This form, based on a single specimen from Cana, appears to be distinguished
from S. p. eximius by yellowish green instead of blue forehead and much more
yellowish under parts, particularly on throat, abdomen, and tail coverts. It is
obviously a connecting link to S. p. viridiceps.

Birds from British Guiana always have a conspicuous white mid-auricular
stripe abruptly denned from the dark olive malar region and the slate gray ear
coverts. The white tip to the bright yellow superciliaries is, as a rule, well-
pronounced, though two specimens, from Arawai and Merum6 Mountains respec-
tively, show mere traces of it. In the majority, the forehead is very dark olive,
but in the Merume' bird and in one from Bartica Grove it is just as pale as in east-
Ecuadorian specimens. Swainspn's type, kindly lent by the authorities of the
Cambridge Museum, has the white stripe on the sides of the head fully as broad as
any from Guiana, and while its deplorable condition renders it useless for further
comparison, this character alone speaks for its Guianan rather than Peruvian
origin. It may be mentioned in this connection that Brabourne and Chubb
(Bds. S. Amer., 1, p. 351) quite erroneously credit me with the suggestion of
"Peru" as type locality, which since has also been quoted by Chapman (Bull.
Amer. Mus. N. H., 55, p. 590, 1926). An adult bird from French Guiana (coll. by
Rey, Paris Museum) is in every respect similar, the white mid-auricular stripe
being even more strongly developed. In eastern Ecuador this feature seems to be
less marked. Only two have the white stripe as distinct as Guianan birds, while
in three others it is rather obsolete, more of a whitish gray, and in another barely
suggested by a few light streaks. The frontal edge is never dark olive, but green
like the back, and the yellow superciliaries are with or without a white tip.
Birds with pale yellow, green-striped under parts are probably females or
immature males, though the significance of the variation cannot be determined
with the limited (mostly unsexed) material at my command. The type of V. chloro-
gaster unquestionably is a young bird. Like another Cayenne skin and one from
"Peru," erroneously listed by Gadow as type of V. icterophrys, to whose description
it does not correspond at all, it has no white mid-auricular stripe, and the under
parts are heavily streaked with greenish. An unsexed bird from the Mazaruni
River and a "male" from Suapure, Caura, Venezuela, are similar underneath, the
former having a broad white, the latter a narrower grayish white stripe on the sides
of the head.

Smaragdolanius leucotis simplex (Berlepsch): Similar to S. I. leucotis, but
without trace of white on sides of head, the whole auricular region being clear
gray, and the pileum lighter gray; even nearer to S. I. bolivianus, but upper part of
the head clearer gray, and the sides of the body much more extensively green.
Wing, 71-73; tail, 51-54; bill, 17-18.

J
Smaragdolanius leucotis bolivianus (Berlepsch) Very similar to S. I. leucotis,
:
but without any white in the auricular region.

In the absence of adult males from Bolivia it is at present impossible to
properly indicate the characters and range of this form. The type and a second
specimen from Quebrada Onda in the Berlepsch Collection are both unsexed, but
agree essentially with a "female" from Cerro Hosane, Dept. Santa Cruz, in the
Carnegie Museum, except in having more blackish olive suffusion on the forehead.
The under parts, in the three specimens, are of varying shades of pale yellow, more
or less flammulated with greenish on the f oreneck and washed with the same along
the flanks. A female from the Rio Purus (Hyutanahan) merely differs by lacking
the dusky suffusion on the forehead; darker, more uniform slate gray cheeks and
auriculars; slightly brighter green back; and brighter yellow under parts. Two
adult males from the Rio Purus and two others from Peru (Rio Huacamayo,
Carabaya; Huachipa, Huanuco) have deeper yellow under parts without greenish
streaks on the foreneck, darker gray pileum, deeper yellow superciliaries, and still
brighter green upper surface. They closely approach certain east-Ecuadorian
males of S. I. leucotis without distinct white mid-auricular stripe. Whether these
specimens simply represent the plumage of the adult male of S. I. bolivianus or
should be classified as intermediates to leucotis remains to be determined by the
examination of adult males from Bolivia.

Smaragdolanius leucotis mikettae (Hartert) Like S. I. bolivianus without any
:
white on the sides of the head, but sides of breast and flanks much more extensively
green; similar to S. 1. simplex in the latter character, but pileum and sides of head
deeper slate gray, and back brighter green. Wing (males), 69-70; tail, 49-50; bill,
17-18.
This form is known only from two adult males. The type was obtained at
Paramba (alt. 3,500 ft.), in northwestern Ecuador, and the British Museum has a
specimen taken by W. Goodfellow in June, 1914, at Rio Blanco, below Mindo.
The two birds are practically alike. The forehead and a narrow line along the
upper border of the uniform yellow superciliaries are blackish olive, and the cheeks
and auriculars deep slate gray like the pileum.
More material is urgently required to establish the racial characters beyond
doubt.

quite possible that this name should be corrected to Cyclorhis. When
3
It is
creating the genus, Swainson explicitly refers to the "round, naked nostrils,"
so that the etymology of the name is not in doubt, although the author fails to
explain its derivation. Three years later, he uses the correct spelling Cyclorhis,
but in another writing (Orn. Draw., Part 5, pi. 58, late in 1837) reverts to the form
Cyclarhis. The case seems to be analogous to Chaemaepelia, which, according to
the ruling of the International Commission on Nomenclature (Opinion 61), is to
be amended to Chamaepelia.

1
Cyclarhis gujanensis coibae Hartert: Most nearly related to C. g. subflavescens
and with the same amount of buffy white underneath, but distinguished by much
darker upper parts, the back and wings being dull brownish olive, the pileum
suffused with sepia; much darker gray sides of the head; and by having the foreneck
and lower throat, in contrast to the lemon yellow breast, much duller and more
greenish. The rufous superciliaries are the same as in subflavescens, both as to
extent and coloration. Wing (adult male), 75; tail, 56; bill, 17.
This form was based on two males collected by the late J. B. Batty on April 20,
1901, on the island of Coiba, off the south coast of western Panama. The type is
an immature bird with pointed, apically as well as internally yellow-fringed rec-
trices, and uniform blackish brown bill. The other specimen, an adult, has the
bill pale horn brown with a plumbeous spot at the base of the lower mandible. In
coloration it is similar, except that the gray basal portion of the crown feathers
shows through. While the two birds look rather different from C. g. subflavescens,
it is somewhat suggestive that an adult male from Hicaron Island, to the south of
Coiba, does not appreciably deviate from the ordinary continental type. In view of
this circumstance more material seems to be required for the proper understanding
of the pepper shrike of these islands.

Cydarhis gujanensis flavipectus Sclater varies locally to a certain extent, but
the divergency between birds from different parts of its range is not sufficiently
constant to warrant further subdivision. When describing this form, Sclater did
not distinguish between specimens from Colombia (Santa Marta, Bogota) and
others from Trinidad and Venezuela, and it was not until 1883 that Gadow defin-
itely selected Trinidad as type locality, a procedure apparently overlooked by
Allen, who renamed the same form as C. f. trinitatis.
Birds from Trinidad, which have, thus, to be considered as typical flavipectus,
are characterized by large, stout bills, fresh (somewhat yellowish) green back, and
bright yellow anterior under parts. The inner margin to the remiges is frequently

billed, but with few exceptions they are duller, more grayish green above, and the
jugular area is of a paler yellow. The larger bill is thus seen to be the only fairly
constant feature of the Trinidad form, though various specimens from the main-
land, such as two from the Caura and one from Ciudad Bolivar, are just as large-
billed. If the island birds be separated on this score, the pepper shrikes of Sucre,
the Orinoco basin, and eastern Colombia will have to be united under Chapman's
term parvus, and those from northwestern Venezuela, with duller grayish green
back and paler yellow under parts, will require a new name. Considering the fact,
however, that very large numbers of birds from the various regions are not
distinguishable with certainty, I do not advocate this splitting into three races,
and prefer to keep them together under Sclater's subspecific designation flavi-
pectus, as I have explained at length in Arch. Naturg., 90, A, Heft 2, pp. 162-164.
Two specimens from the Caura Valley, Venezuela, by more greenish yellow fore-
neck and chest, exhibit a tendency in the direction of C. g. gujanensis.

Birds from various localities in northern Brazil agree with series from Frencl
Guiana and Mount Roraima, but are perhaps not quite so greenish on the fore-
neck. A single adult from the Rio Juruena, Matto Grosso, is quite typical ol
gujanensis. On the other hand, a male from Tury-assu, Maranhao, tends to C. g
cearensis by larger bill and greater extent of the greenish area on jugulum and sides
of chest, thus connecting the two forms. I do not see how Peruvian birds, de-
scribed by Carriker under the preoccupied name albiventris, can be separated. AE
adult male from La Gloria, Chanchamayo, shows none of the characters assigned
to the supposed race, the middle of the breast being, if anything, more grayish
than in the Guianan average, while the chest is of the same tone as in numerous
specimens from other localities. Two additional skins from northern Peru (Samiria
and Tarapoto) do not differ either.

Cyclarhis gujanensis cearensis Baird is merely a small form of C. g. viridii
with less powerful bill, somewhat brighter green back, and clearer yellow foreneck
The buffy tinge of the abdomen is well-pronounced in fresh plumage, but graduallj
disappears as the season advances.
Birds from Bahia (albiventris) are identical with series from Ceara and interioi
Maranhao, while the inhabitants of Minas Geraes, Goyaz, and Matto Grossc
generally have slightly smaller bills, although this insignificant divergency is com-
pletely bridged by individual variation. It is now an established fact that speci-
mens without the plumbeous basal spot to the lower mandible, considered by
certain authors as specifically different (C. unedii), merely represent an immature
stage of the present form. Birds from the coast of Maranhao (Sao Bento, Miritiba]
are intermediate to C. g. gujanensis, a race which actually stretches into the extremt
northwestern section of that state.

There is no difference whatever between Paraguayan birds (typical viridis)
and others from Argentina (altirostris). As has been pointed out long ago by the
late Count Berlepsch (Ibis, 1888, p. 89), Azara's description of the "Habia Verde"
clearly refers to the large-billed pepper shrike with plumbeous basal spot to the
lower mandible. This form is chiefly found west of the Parana, though it is like-
wise widely diffused in the northern and western parts of Paraguay proper. Birds
from Bolivia, except those occurring in the plains of Chiquitos, agree very well
with the present form, too. Measurements are given in Nov. Zool., 15, p. 24, 1908.

Birds from Corrientes, Entre Rios, and Misiones agree well with Brazilian
specimens, whereas those from Uruguay and Buenos Aires generally have the yellow
jugular band narrower and paler in tone. They are, however, closely approached
by certain individuals from Sao Paulo. Occasionally the maxilla is dark brown
and the mandible dusky, with or without a paler tip. Such specimens we have
seen from Sao Paulo (Alambary), Parana (Serra do Mar), and Entre Rios (La
Soledad). C. o. dabbenei Bertoni appears to have been based upon an individual
of the same variety. In breeding plumage, when the brownish tips to the feathers
have been worn off, the pileum becomes dingy gray, and we have little doubt that
C. jaczewskii, described from a single January specimen taken in Parana, where
the brown-headed C. g. ochrocephala is also found, refers to that stage. Though we
heretofore regarded ochrocephala as specifically distinct, Paraguayan material
recently examined tends to show that it is merely a geographical race of the
gujanensis group. The British Museum has six specimens from Sapucay, Para-
guay. Four are typical ochrocephala. The two remaining ones have stouter, more
elevated bills, more like C. g. viridis, with suggestions of a dusky basal spot to the
lower mandible, and in one the rufous superciliars are broader and carried as far
back as the posterior margin of the auriculars, thus showing the same extent as in
C. g. viridis. Two additional examples from Sapucay exhibit all the characters of
the latter form. Intergradation is therefore established in southern Paraguay.
Otherwise the two pepper shrikes replace each other geographically. In Minas
Geraes, C. g. ochrocephala inhabits the southern districts (Marianna, Sao Francisco,
1); Argentina,Misiones (Eldorado, 3; Puerto Segundo, 5); Uruguay

(Quebrada de los Cuervos, north of Trienta y Tres, 3; Polanco,
Minas, 1; Rio Uruguay, southwest of Dolores, Soriano, 1).

Cyclarhis gujanensis virenticeps Sclater and its Peruvian allies (C. g. contrerasi,
1
C. g. saturatus) differ from the C. gujanensis group proper by lacking the gray
on the crown, which is replaced by green and chestnut; olive yellow or yellowish
green instead of pale gray auriculars; much greater extent of the yellow on throat
and chest, etc. However, an adult female from Huancabamba (Mus. Comp. Zool.,
No. 79898) has the forecrown, behind the chestnut frontal band, largely gray,
and also the anterior auriculars grayish, suggesting intergradation with C. g.
gujanensis, found in the Tropical zone of eastern Peru. I have, therefore, no hesita-
tion in accepting Mr. Zimmer's proposal to unite the green-crowned and gray-
crowned groups in one "formenkreis."

chestnut, this color sometimes concealing the green mesial disks; auriculars more
greenish; size on average larger.
This form is extremely variable individually, specimens with the least amount
af chestnut edges being barely separable from certain south Ecuadorian birds
with chestnut-edged crown feathers. The intensity of the chestnut on forehead
and superciliaries is subject to much variation, while hardly two examples are
alike as to tone and width of the yellow pectoral area.

Considering the great variability of C. g. contrerasi, this form needs confirma-
tion by a larger series. Some specimens from Cajabamba are fully as large as the
Cullcui birds, but not one of the northern examples has the flanks and sides so
deeply ochraceous.

As pointed out by A. H. Miller (Univ. Calif. Pub. Zool., 38, p. 54, 1931),
Brisson's description, the sole basis of the specific name proposed by Linnaeus,
might refer with an equal degree of probability to either ludovicianus, migrans,
or excubitorides. In view of the impossibility of a conclusive decision as to which
of the three races mentioned should bear the name L. ludovicianus, the type speci-
men forwarded by Count de la Galissoniere to M. Re'aumur being obviously lost,

Although L.
septentrionalis is generally quoted in the synonymy of L. e.
borealis,certain passages in the description of Latham's "Northern Shrike,"
such as total length, the extent of the white tips to the outer tail feathers, etc.,
point rather to L. ludovicianus. The type appears to be lost. At all events, it
is not among the specimens secured by the Vienna Museum from Sir Lever's
collection. It may be remarked that both Gmelin and Shaw based their descrip-
on Latham's "Northern Shrike," and I do not understand
tions exclusively why
Ridgway, Hartert, and others quote L. septentrionalis Shaw (not Gmelin).

Diglossa baritula montana Dearborn: Adult male similar to D. 6. baritula,
but under parts decidedly deeper rufous, with the slate gray extending down
over the whole throat and foreneck instead of being confined to the upper throat;
female evidently not distinguishable.
The racial characters of this form are well marked in a series of thirteen adult
males from Guatemala. Certain Mexican examples, notably one from Sierra
Nevada de Colima and two from the valley of Mexico (Ajusco and Tetelco),
closely approach montana in the extent of the slate gray throat, though they are
not so deeply rufous below. Two adult males from Volcan de Tacana, Chiapas,
are perfectly typical of the Guatemalan race.

This form, while differing in the male sex from its more northern allies by
the uniform slaty coloration, without any rufous, of the under parts, is obviously
but a strongly developed derivative of D. baritula. The Guatemalan race (D. b.
montana), by its more extensively gray throat, marks a decided step in the direction
of the Costa Rican bird, and the close resemblance of the females affords additional
evidence for their genetic relationship.

*Diglossa baritula d'orbignyi (Boissonneau). D'ORBIGNY'S
DIGLOSSA.
J
The South American representatives of this group, heretofore combined
under the specific term sittoides, revert in the male sex to the rufescent under parts
of the Mexican and Guatemalan races, though the coloration is of a much paler
tone, lacking, besides, all gray on throat, cheeks, and malar region. The females
are barely separable from those of D. 6. plumbea.
1
Diglossa baritula hyperythra Cabanis: Adult male similar to D. s. d'orbignyi
in having the under parts nearly uniform cinnamomeous without a buffy abdominal
area, but sides of the head not so dark, plumbeous rather than blackish slate,
and pileum hardly darker than the back. Female seemingly not distinguishable.
Wing (adult males), 56-58; tail, 45-47; bill, 10-11.
Three adult males from Caracas and three others from the Santa Marta
Mountains, while closely resembling D. s. d'orbignyi, appear to differ by lighter,
less blackish slate coloration of the top and sides of the head. Until further
material demonstrates its invalidity, I prefer to keep this form separate.
Material examined. Venezuela: Caracas, 2; Galipan, Cerro del Avila, 2.
Colombia: El Mam6n, 2; San Sebastian, 1.
Diglossa baritula d'orbignyi (Boissonneau) Differs from D. b. sittoides by

3
:
smaller size, by somewhat stouter bill, and in the male sex by darker plumbeous
back; much darker (blackish slate) pileum, which forms a dark cap; more
blackish sides of the head, passing often into velvety black in the loral region;
finally by deeper, more uniform cinnamomeous under parts. Wing (adult males),
55-59; tail, 44-47; bill, 10-11.
Birds from Me>ida are identical with a series from the east Colombian Andes.
According to Chapman, the inhabitants of the central and western Andes belong
likewise to the present form.

Although the type is not available for reexamination, I fully concur with
Mr. Zimmer (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. Ser., 17, p. 416, 1930) that there is
hardly any doubt as to the applicability of the name d'orbignyi. Boissonneau
calls the under parts "blanc jaunatre, tirant un peu sur le roussatre a la gorge
et aux tectrices infe>ieures de la queue," which fits the young male of "D. s.
similis" auct. exceedingly well, and cannot possibly refer to the female of D. a.
albilatera with deep clay colored lower surface and silky white axillary tufts.
Diglossa baritula decorata Zimmer: Very close to D. 6. sittoides, but rather

2
smaller; tertials tipped with buffy white to cinnamon; forehead and anterior
part of crown lighter and brighter than the back instead of being uniform with
the latter; female barely distinguishable. This is rather an unsatisfactory race,
though its slightly smaller size, together with the buffy- or cinnamon-tipped
tertials in the male sex may perhaps serve to distinguish it. These buffy spots
are very rarely suggested in Bolivian examples, which, besides, are generally larger.
The type is in abraded plumage with abnormally pale, faded under parts, while

Characteristic of this species are the heavy, large bill, the light blue (burn
blue) humeral patch, the absence of gray on the rump, and the peculiar metallic
jloss of the pileum, which, by being confined to the apical portion of the feathers,
produces a squamate effect.
Specimens from Ecuador and the central Andes of Colombia are perfectly
identical with series from the Bogota region and the adjoining section of Vene-
zuela. The type of A. bonapartei Fraser belongs here, too.

Boissonneau's description, "plumage entierement d'un noir profond, avec

les petites tectrices alaires
the large, blue-shouldered bird for which we have retained the specific term.
The individuals of smaller size with grayish rump, considered by him to be "jeunes
males," pertain to D. carbonaria humeralis, as is shown by two specimens in the
Vienna Museum received from Boissonneau in 1841.

Chapman: Agrees with the typical form in
Diglossa lafresnayii gloriosissima
size, large heavy squamate gloss of pileum, faint metallic gloss of back, and
bill,
extensive pale blue humeral patch; but differs by having the rump strongly suffused
with slate gray and the under parts, excepting the black throat and foreneck,
light rufous, between burnt sienna and Sanford's brown. Wing, (adult males)
71-75, (female) 68; tail, 63-66, (female) 64; bill, 13-14.
The characters of this form are most strongly developed in birds from Para-
millo, near the northern end of the central Andes, while specimens from the
Coast Range west of Popayan vary somewhat in the direction of D. I. lafresnayii
by the blackish suffusion along the sides of the breast and abdomen. The rufous
of the under parts, besides, is rather deeper, tending to chestnut. This interesting
bird is by no means related to D. carbonaria gloriosa, to which it merely bears a
superficial resemblance in the coloration of the under parts, these being, however,
of a quite different, much paler and more yellowish red tone.

By the black smaller upper wing coverts, which show very rarely faint sugges-
tions of grayish edges, the Santa Marta Diglossa approaches D. c. aterrima, but
differs readily by the extensive slate gray uropygial area. The specimens obtained
by Simons in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta prove, on reexamination, to be
referable to the present form.

Diglossa carbonaria humeralis (Fraser), in spite of its superficial resemblance,
is quite distinct specifically from D. I. lafresnayii, both being found in the Tem-
perate zone of the eastern Andes of Colombia. It differs from the latter bird
by smaller size, much slenderer weaker bill, fainter (more silky) gloss of the pileum,
extensively slate gray uropygial area, and pale gray (instead of decidedly blue)
humeral patch. The difference in the bulk of the bill is particularly noticeable,
when viewed from below. The gloss of the body plumage is more evenly distributed
over the feathers, and does not produce any squamate effect on the pileum,
while the back has a silky rather than metallic sheen. The humeral patch, which
is less extended, varies in tone between deep gull gray and gull gray, passing into
light gull gray towards the bend of the wing. The rump is largely dark gull gray

There is never a trace of a gray superciliary streak. The types of A. humeralis
and D. intermedia, which we have carefully compared, are both typical of the

extreme northwestern Bolivia, where it intergrades with D. c. carbonaria; whereas
intergradation with D. c. aterrima, whose distributional area it closely approaches
or possibly even overlaps in certain parts of northwestern Peru, does not seem

lateral breast feathers
coloration coal black instead of blackish slate. Female very differently colored;
upper part and sides of the head dull olive citrine, brighter (more Roman green)
on the forehead; back deep mouse gray, the feathers centered with dusky and edged
with dull olivaceous; rump and upper tail coverts washed with brownish olive;
smaller upper wing coverts deep neutral gray, the larger ones fuscous with narrow
dull brownish olive margins; remiges and rectrices fuscous black, exteriorly
edged with grayish or brownish; malar region brighter than the head, nearly dark
olive buff; under surface dingy gray, lower throat and upper chest washed with
buffy brown or dull Isabella color, flanks and lower tail coverts slightly tinged
with brownish; axillars, under wing coverts, and lateral pectoral feathers white
as in the male. Wing, 70, (female) 63-65; tail, 58, (female) 54-57; bill, 12.
A very distinct form, which may ultimately prove to be conspecific with
D. albilatera. The much larger size, the black plumage of the male, and the
very peculiar coloration of the female render it, however, easily recognizable.

Six males from Chachapoyas are conspicuously larger and much darker, some being
even more blackish than D. a. albilatera. A
single male from Tambillo, in the
same region as Chaupe, is equally large, and, although its worn condition forbids
final judgment, it more nearly resembles the Chachapoyas birds in coloration.
More material from northern Peru is required to explain this seemingly somewhat
erratic variation.

GLAUCOUS DIGLOSSA.
Diglossa indigotica Sclater, while related to D. glauca, is quite distinct by
1
reason of the firmer texture of its plumage, more concealed nostrils, relatively
shorter tail, absence of the black forehead, and much brighter, more glossy colora-
tion, which is cyanine blue or Prussian blue, while the edges to the wing and tail
feathers, instead of being uniform in tone with the back as in D. glauca, are dis-
tinctly greenish blue (blackish green blue to marine blue). The female is much
duller, the general coloration being about the same shade as the wing edges of the
males; the margins to the flight quills are narrower and duller greenish blue, and
the abdomen is suffused with dusky gray. Wing, (adult males) 58-65, (female)
57; tail, 37-44; bill, 10^-12.
Comparison of a series of skins from western and eastern Ecuador in the
British Museum showed the type of D. indigotica to be a specimen of the Pacific
form, which Chapman had described as D. cryptorhis. Two examples from the
western Andes of Colombia seem to be inseparable from those of western Ecuador,
although the male from N6vita Trail is a faint shade less purplish above than any
other bird in the series.

fied, 1 (the type).
*
Diglossa glauca glauca Sclater and Salvin: General color bright purplish
blue, nearest to dusky blue with, however, a slight dark dull violet blue hue;
edges to upper wing coverts and inner remiges very nearly the same as the back,
those of the primaries hardly different from dark dull violet blue; loral region and
a distinct, though narrow, frontal band black. Wing, (adult male) 64-66, (female)
60-62; tail, 45-51, (female) 44-47; bill, 11.
The type is an immature bird with yellow basal half of the lower mandible
and retaining, both above and below, a good deal of the sooty juvenile plumage,
between which the new purplish blue feathers of the adult livery are just appearing.
An adult collected by O. Garlepp at Songo, Yungas of La Paz, thus nearly topo-
typical, agrees precisely with a series from Santo Domingo (D. g. incae).

blackish; female with under parts brighter as well as more uniform green.
Birds from Santa Catharina are larger (wings of males 74-76 against 66-71),
but the series at hand is far too small to ascertain the stability of this divergency,
inasmuch as typical C. s. spiza varies considerably in size within the same locality.

This form, of which the type has been lost, is said to resemble C. s. spiza, but
to differ by the restriction of the black on the crown (which extends but little
beyond the eyes), by the scale-like structure of the green feathers on the occiput and
back of the neck, and by having the green edges to the remiges and rectrices wider
as well as more clearly defined. An adult male from the Rio Iganna (upper Rio
Negro region) in the Vienna Museum shows none of these characters, and does not
appreciably differ from Guianan specimens.
2
Specimens from Para (Peixe-Boi) are similar to others from the Guianas, and
series from various parts of Venezuela do not seem to differ. Cory's record (Bds.
W. Ind., p. 69, 1889) from Cuba was doubtless based upon an escaped cage-bird.

Chlorophanes spiza subtropicalis Todd, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 37, p. 122,
1924 La Cumbre, western Andes, Colombia (type in Carnegie Museum,
Pittsburgh).
Specimens from Peru, eastern Ecuador, and southeastern Colombia agree

1
with two from Yuracares. Although no adult males are available from the upper
Rio Madeira and northern Matto Grosso, there can be little doubt as to the Green
Honey Creeper of that region being referable to the race caerulescens. In the male
sex, this form differs by its much more bluish coloration, when compared with
C. s. spiza. The female sometimes has the throat very nearly as yellow as C. 8.
subtropicalis.

Salto do Girao, Rio Madeira, 1; Engenho do Gama, Rio Guapore", Matto Grosso, 1.
Chlorophanes spiza subtropicalis Todd: Similar to C. s. caerulescens in the

2
male sex, but the light-colored streak along the lower edge of the maxilla extended
very nearly to the tip; female with throat bright yellow and with more or less
distinct yellow margins to the feathers of the breast and middle abdomen. Wing,
72-74, (female) 70-72; tail, 46-49; bill, 13-14.
This form, originally described from the Subtropical zone of the western
Andes, seems to be widely distributed in Colombia. Adult birds from the west
slope of the central Andes (Miraflores, east of Palmira) are certainly indistinguish-
able from others taken in the western Andes, the females showing the characteristic
yellow suffusion underneath. Birds from the Tropical lowlands of the Pacific
coast (Noanama, Noyita, Buenaventura) are intermediate to C. s. exsul. They
are slightly smaller (wing of adult males, 68-69) and not quite so bluish in the male
sex, though one from Noanam& is a close match to specimens from Miraflores.
The females are also somewhat variable, one from Buenaventura being but
slightly more yellowish below than certain Ecuadorian birds, whereas one from
Noanama, by reason of its bright yellow throat and distinct, though narrow,
yellow lateral edges to the pectoral feathers, typically represents subtropicalis.
Taken as a whole, the inhabitants of the Pacific coast are, however, much nearer
to the latter than to exsul. The form found in the Magdalena Valley needs further
study with more comprehensive material than I have been able to examine. A
female from Honda, with nearly uniform green under parts, looks very much like
C. s. coerulescens, while a "Bogota" skin (presumably from the Magdalena slope
of the eastern Andes) closely resembles one from Buenaventura. Berlepsch
(MS.), in speaking of a series of "Bucaramanga" specimens, notices the large
extent of the pale margin to the commissure in the males, as well as the frequent
yellow admixture on the under parts of the females, features that would place
the birds with subtropicalis rather than caerulescens.

is quite distinct from C. spiza. The bill, while of the same shape, lacks the pale
margin along the commissure of the maxilla, though the lower mandible is wholly
yellow as in the allied species. The body plumage, instead of being bright green,
is of a dull blue (between "Colombia blue" and "Neropalin blue" of Ridgway).
The black color about the head is much reduced in extent, only a narrow frontal
band, the loral region, and the surrounding of the eye being dull black, and the
feathers of the crown blackish with dull blue apical margins, whereas in C. spiza
the whole crown and all the sides of the head are occupied by a solid deep black
"mask." The interscapulium (plain green in C. spiza) is black, broadly margined
apically with dull blue; the larger upper wing coverts, bluish green like the back
in C. spiza, are also black, with narrow dull blue edges along the outer web only;
remiges wholly black, the innermost secondaries only externally margined with
dull blue; tail black with mere traces of bluish outer margins. The whole under
surface, including malar region, cheeks, and chin, which are black in C. spiza, is
dull blue, with suggestion of a blackish spot on each side of the chest; under wing
coverts soiled whitish (not sooty as in C. spiza). Wing, 71; tail, 45; bill, 17.
The type specimen, apparently an adult male, was purchased by P. L. Sclater
in 1872 from Adolphe Boucard, and is labeled "Caracas," a locality that I strongly
question. It is a trade skin of the so-called "Trinidad" or "Orinoco" make
characterized by loose wings and legs, half-open bill, and spread tail and shows
exactly the same preparation as specimens of Hylonympha macrocerca Gould,
whose habitat is likewise unknown.
2
Genus Iridophanes Ridgway: Nearly allied to Chlorophanes, but bill pro-
portionately much shorter, laterally less compressed, and apically much less
convex; tarsus decidedly shorter, being equal to middle toe with claw; style of
coloration quite different.
While the final classification of this genus depends on the results of an investi-
gation of anatomical characters, I am, for the present, inclined to refer it to the
its
Coerebidae rather than to the Tanagers. It offers many analogies to Chlorophanes
in structure, the slightly swollen basal portion and the yellowish margin of the
cutting edge of the maxilla being the most striking points of resemblance. The
different proportions of the bill and tarsus, however, appear to me of sufficient
importance to separate it generically.

The white subapical spot on the inner web of the lateral rectrices, claimed to
distinguish the Peruvian stigmatura, seems to be a purely individual character
without geographical significance. I find it in one put of three Bogota skins, while
it is present only in one among six Peruvian specimens. In agreement with Dr.
Chapman I am, therefore, led to the conclusion that there is only one form on the
east side of the Andes ranging from Colombia to the Bolivian boundary.

The females, in addition to their larger size, differ from the typical form by
their darker, less yellowish under parts with the green streaking more clearly
defined. The bill, in length, is subject to much variation. Sometimes it is very
nearly as long as in C. c. eximius, sometimes it corresponds to the average of typi-
cal cyaneus. It is, however, constantly stouter at the base and apically less arched.

Birds from Trinidad and the Orinoco Delta (Guanoco) agree with a Guianan
series. Specimens from Brazil south of the Amazon generally have rather shorter
and slenderer bills. If they be deemed worthy of separation, a name exists in
Arbelorhina brevipes Cabanis, as I have ascertained by examination of the type
specimen. The type, purchased from a dealer by the name of Polly, is labeled
"Porto Cabello, Venezuela." This is, however, an obvious mistake, since the bird,
an adult male, agrees in color and dimensions with others from Para and Bahia,
being much smaller as well as darker blue on the crown than the Caribbean race,
C._c. eximia. Judging from its preparation, I should say it is a Brazilian trade
skin. No material has been available from either Peru or Bolivia.

Cyanerpes cyaneus eximius (Cabanis): Similar to C. c. cyaneus, but with
decidedly longer bill; crown patch of males in nuptial plumage of a paler, less
intense blue. Bill, 20-23, rarely 18-19.
While admitting that certain unusually short-billed examples have by no
means longer bills than C. c. cyaneus, the majority from the Caribbean coast of
Venezuela and Colombia are fairly distinguishable on this score, and the recogni-
tion of C. c. eximius seems to me justifiable in spite of the doubt that has been cast
on its validity. The few not very satisfactory skins from "Bogota" (probably=
Magdalena Valley) appear to be referable to this form, too.

ing in proportion of bill; pale blue cap of male in nuptial plumage more restricted
in area, being separated from the black mantle by a much wider purplish blue
band; female much more yellowish underneath, especially on throat and middle line.
Although disregarded by recent authorities, this race seems to me entitled to
recognition, as long as C. c. eximius is maintained. The only other feasible course
is to unite all three forms, a procedure I dislike to advocate in view of the relative
stability of their characters when checked with the aid of adequate series. The
yellowish edge along the inner webs of the rectrices alluded to by Cabanis, when
tentatively proposing the name A. marginata for the Costa Rican bird, appears to
be an individual variation, though I have nowhere else seen it developed to such an
extent as in some specimens from that country.

Cyanerpes cyaneus ramsdeni Bangs: "Differs from the other races by having
the pale blue crown patch in the adult male very small and restricted to the crown
itself and not extending to the occiput. Female rather darker above and paler,
more yellowish below. Wing, 63; tail, 34H; exposed culmen, 16 mm." (Bangs, I.e.).
Not having any material from Cuba, I am greatly in doubt as to the propriety
of recognizing this form, which has recently been disregarded and relegated to the
synonymy of C. c. cyaneus by the describer himself. It has been suggested that the
bird was not a native of Cuba; but if it was introduced this must have been done
many years ago, since Gundlach, in 1844, found it already widespread on the
island. Certain characters given by Bangs, such as the restricted crown patch of

the male and the yellowish under parts of the female, point to the Central American
race (C. c. carneipes), and this assimilation is corroborated by Barbour's note that
Cuban birds are "not separable from those of Panama and Nicaragua." Under
these circumstances I hesitate to drop the Cuban race and recommend the investi-
gation of the problem to one equipped with the necessary material. The occurrence
of the Blue Honey Creeper in Jamaica seems to be altogether fortuitous, it being
even possible that the single example taken by Scott was an escaped cage-bird.

Cyanerpes cyaneus pacificus Chapman: Differs readily in both sexes from all
the other races by the much paler, naphthalene to barium yellow, instead of bright
strontian yellow, color of the under wing coverts and quill lining. The light blue
crown patch of the adult male is generally darker, more bluish (near calamine blue)
and even more restricted than in C. c. carneipes, the purplish blue nuchal band
being correspondingly wider. Length and shape of bill about the same as in east
Brazilian specimens of C. c. cyaneus. Wing, 67-70, (female) 67; tail, 38-41,

Cyanerpes caeruleus microrhynchus (Berlepsch) Similar to C. c. caeruleus, but
:
adult male with forepart of crown, cheeks, and malar region decidedly paler blue;
bill slenderer, though not constantly shorter.
Birds from Peru and Ecuador are identical in coloration with those from
Colombia, and many do not differ in proportions of bill either. Other specimens,
however, have somewhat slenderer, snorter bills, and closely approach C. c. cher-
riei, from which they can only be distinguished by their shorter wings. Females
exhibit certain variations, notably in the coloration of the auriculars, as has been
pointed out by Mr. Zimmer, but the constancy of this divergency remains to be
determined by more adequate series.

Cyanerpes caeruleus chocoanus Hellmayr: Nearest to C. c. microrhynchus, but
wings and tail slightly shorter; adult males less purplish with crown, cheeks, and
auriculars much lighter blue; females with paler, more yellowish green upper sur-
face, light buff instead of ochraceous lores and throat, and much narrower as well
as paler blue rictal streak. Wing, 53-56, (female) 54-55; tail, 26-28; bill, 17-18.

Cyanerpes caeruleus isthmicus Bangs: Similar to C. c. lucidus, but decidedly
smaller with shorter and slenderer bill, especially at base; blue color of adult male
darker, the crown and hind neck distinctly lighter than, instead of concolor with,
the back; female with dorsal surface slightly duller green and the pileum less
bluish. Wing (adult male), 52-56; tail, 25-27; bill, 16-18, rarely 19.

the black gorget is extended onto the middle of the chest, while the female may be
distinguished by paler throat, nearly white instead of bright yellow abdominal
line, and yellow instead of dusky feet. The dimensions are even less than in
C. c. cherriei.
Birds from the upper Rio Negro and Venezuela (Caura Valley) do not appreci-
ably differ from Peruvian specimens, and a single native "Bogota" skin also
agrees. The type of A. brevirostris, with the obviously erroneous locality "Puerto
Cabello," is a perfectly normal example of the present species. Though its identity
had already been recognized by Reichenbach, his statement was overlooked by all
subsequent authors.

Although neither description nor plate indicates the black gular area, as has
been pointed out long ago by the late Count Berlepsch (Ibis, 1881, pp. 240-241),
authors nowadays agree that Brisson's account, practically the sole basis of
Motacilla cayana Linnaeus, cannot well be intended for any other species. It
is hardly necessary to add that the "Elotototl" of Hernandez from Mexico, quoted
by Linnaeus in the synonymy of his Motacilla cayana, has no relation to the

Cayenne Dacnis.
2
The type, an adult male, has no locality attached to it, and there is absolutely
no way of telling whence it might have originated, though "Rio de Janeiro,"
suggested by us in another connection (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zopl. Ser., 12, p.
268, 1929) as terra typica, is just as likely as any other place. Considering the cir-
cumstance that its dimensions (wing, 64; tail, 44; bill, 12 %) furnish no conclusive
proof as to subspecific pertinence, it seems best to include the name in the
synonymy of D. c, cayana.

Birds from Amazonia and Venezuela are apparently inseparable from a
Guianan series, the throat being deep black in the male, and distinctly bluish gray
in the female sex. Specimens from northern Matto Grosso are referred by Mrs.
Naumburg to typical cayana, to which a single adult male from the Rio Roosevelt
(6th of March Rapids) seems actually to belong. In the western section of the
state the present form obviously intergrades with D. c. glaucogularis. A female
from Engenho do Gama, Rio Guapore', agrees in coloration with cayana, but is
larger, while a male from the same locality closely approaches the Bolivian race in
the more greenish blue general plumage, as well as in the less blackish throat. In
natiye "Bogota" collections typical cayana is found along with males that cannot
be distinguished from glaucogularis, and others more or less intermediate between
the two as to the color of the dark gular area. Of course, nothing is known regard-
ing the exact origin of these specimens, and the distribution of the two races in
Colombia east of the Andes remains to be determined. It will be noted, however,
that Chapman (Bull. Amer. Mus. N. H., 36, p. 584, 1917) considers birds from
Villavicencio and the Caqueta region to be inseparable from the Guianan form.
A single male from Roraima is unusually large.

Dacnis cayana paraguayensis Chubb: Very similar to D. c. cayana, but
larger,with longer bill; coloration of males less intensely blue; female without any
bluish tinge on the throat, the latter being dingy or yellowish gray.
The characters of this race are most strongly developed in Paraguay and the
adjoining states of southern Brazil (Santa Catharina and Sao Paulo). Specimens
from this part of the range are invariably large with long, heavy bills, when com-
pared to a series of the northern cayana, and the plumage of the adult males is con-
spicuously more greenish blue. Similar individuals also occur in the more northern
parts of Brazil, though their bills are, as a rule, shorter and slenderer. Other
specimens from Bahia and Pernambuco, however, are hardly different in dimen-
sions from typical cayana.
Birds from the tableland of Matto Grosso are intermediate to glaucogularis.
The black of the dorsal area in adult males is as dull as in the latter form, and the
coloration of the throat is also very similar, though less suffused with greenish;
females, however, are more like paraguayensis. It is really a matter of personal
preference to refer them to one rather than to the other race.

male being recognizable by the purplish blue tone of the plumage.
of this group, the
The female differs from that of the allied races (cayana and glaucogularis) by the
much deeper blue color of the top and sides of the head. Birds from the Pacific
slope of Colombia and Ecuador are on average paler, and connect the intensely
colored Magdalena Valley variety with D. c. napaea, of the Santa Marta district, as
has been explained by Hellmayr and Chapman. Further subdivision seems,
however, unwarranted, since a good many individuals from the two regions are
practically indistinguishable.

Motacilla lineata Gmelin is exclusively based upon Button's "Pitpit a coiffe
bleue" [and Latham's "Blue-striped Warbler" (Gen. Syn. Bds., 2, (2), p. 504), which
is merely an English translation of Buffon's account]. Gmelin's description is faulty
in various respects, and refers to the white abdominal area as "lutescens," while
the two colors on the top and sides of the head are mixed up. Buffon's account,
however, cannot well apply to any other species, as has been pointed out by Mr.
Zimmer (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. Ser., 17, p. 423, 1930). Moreover, it is more
than probable that Buffon gained his knowledge of the species from Mauduyt, who
gives an excellent characterization of the White-vented Dacnis under the same
vernacular name, viz., "Pitpit a coiffe bleue."

After examining adequate series of the White-vented Dacnis I am bound to
concur with Mr. Zimmer's contention that subdivision of the species is impracti-
cable. The alleged difference in the coloration of .the females proves to be non-
existent, while the slight variation in the blue of the male sex seems altogether too
unstable to merit recognition in nomenclature. At all events, specimens from the
south side of the Amazon valley (Para, Caviana, Rio Purus) and from Peru are
inseparable from a Guianan series. Males from Tonantins (north bank of the Rio
Solimoes), Bogota, and Cuembi, Colombia, are as a rule of a slightly paler and
more greenish blue hue, but they are precisely matched by certain individuals
from Peru (Nuevo Loreto) and Brazil (Nova Olinda, Rio Purus).

Dacnis lineata egregia Sclater differs in the male sex by yellow instead of white
under wing, under tail coverts, and abdominal patch, as well as more greenish
hue of the blue areas, particularly underneath, while the female is chiefly dis-
tinguished by more yellowish abdomen and under wing coverts.
This bird, heretofore treated as a distinct species, is clearly but a geographical
representative of the White-vented Dacnis, which it replaces west of the eastern
Andes in the Tropical zone of the Magdalena and other river valleys of Colombia.
It is frequently met with in native Bogota collections.

Dacnis viguieri Salvin and Godman, known only from a single adult male in
the Paris Museum, is allied to D. lineata, which it resembles in form and propor-
tions, but differs from by various striking characters. While recalling D. lineata
aequatorialis in its greenish blue general coloration, it lacks the broad black area on
the sides of the head, there being but a narrow loral streak of that color running
from the bill to the anterior angle of the eye, and the yellow abdominal patch is
altogether absent. Moreover, the upper wing coverts, which are black in all the
races of D. lineata, are light yellowish green, more greenish blue along the outer
web, only the smallest being basally black with greenish blue tips; the axillars
and under wing coverts soiled grayish, not pure white as in D. L lineata or bright
yellow as in D. L egregia and D. I. aequatorialis; the under tail coverts dull greenish
yellow, broadly margined with greenish blue. Wing, 58; tail, 38.

Dacnis nigripes Pelzeln, a very distinct species, superficially resembles D.
cayana in the male sex, but has a proportionately much shorter tail, a considerably
stouter, basally much wider bill, and differs also in some details of coloration. The
black dorsal area is much less extensive, being confined to the upper back; the
black gular patch is likewise more restricted and distinctly rounded on its posterior
margin; the rectrices, particularly the two median pairs, are conspicuously edged
with blue on the apical half of both webs; the legs and feet are dusky or blackish
instead of brownish or reddish flesh color. The female has no resemblance at all
to D. cayana, but is closely similar to that of D. venusta, from which it differs
chiefly by distinctly dusky brownish upper back and more buffy (less whitish)
throat. Wing, 60-62, (female) 59-62; tail, 34-38; bill, 11-12.
D. nigripes lives side by side with D. cayana paraguayensis in certain parts of
southeastern Brazil, and there can be no doubt as to its specific distinctness.

A single adult male from Peru (Iquitos) does not differ in coloration, but
has a smaller (both shorter and slenderer) bill than Bogota specimens. The type
of this peculiar species was sent to the Paris Museum by Mr.
L6yy in a collection
of native "Bogota" skins. Within the boundaries of Colombia, this bird has
not been recorded from any definite locality, but from its occurrence in the Tropical
zone of eastern Ecuador and northern Peru it may be inferred that the "Bogota"
skins originated from the Amazonian lowlands at the foot of the eastern Andes
of Colombia.

Thorough study form has led to
of large series of nearly every described
the conclusion that the numerous "species" from the West Indies and continental
America are merely representative races of a single taxonomic entity. Two
"species," C. caboti and C. ferryi, being decidedly intermediate between the West
Indian group and the mainland forms, there is no alternative but to unite
the whole assemblage under one specific title. The blackish varieties, at one time
considered to be specifically distinct, are in the author's judgment melanotic
mutants, this being clearly indicated by the presence of a more or less perceptible
olivaceous tinge on those parts of the plumage which are yellow in the normally
colored forms.

Certhiola peruviana Cabanis (Journ. Orn., 13, p. 413, 1865), based on a single
specimen collected by Warscewicz somewhere in Peru, cannot be satisfactorily
determined. It is described as similar to "C. majuscula" (that is, Sao Paulo speci-
mens of C. chloropyga), but differing by the presence of a white alar speculum.
This diagnosis answers fairly well to the characters of C. /. intermedia, which we
have (in a rather long-billed variety) from Moyobamba in northern Peru. While
I have no detailed information as to Warscewicz's itinerary, it is an established
fact that this naturalist visited northern Peru, where, among other novelties, he
discovered Coeligena warscewiczi Reichb. [=Diphogena aurora (Gould)], a humming-
bird more or less restricted to the Chota region in the upper Maranon Valley.
The Bananaquit occurring in that particular region is C. magnirostris, which,
though also marked with a small white wing-spot, is nevertheless distinguished
from intermedia by paler grayish back, lighter gray throat, and paler yellow
breast. If Cabanis had had that bird before him, he would hardly have described
his C. peruviana as exactly like "majuscula," but with a white alar speculum.
Unfortunately, as we learn from Finsch (Verhandl. Zool. Bot. Gesells. Wien, 21,
1871, p. 778, passim), the type specimen, which had a broken bill, was rejected
by the Berlin Museum as unsuitable for purchase, and its present location is
unknown.

Further subdivision of the Brazilian Bananaquit appears to be impracticable.
P. R. Lowe attempted to revive Cabanis's name majuscula for a supposedly larger
and paler form representing typical chloropyga in extreme southeastern Brazil
from Sao Paulo southward. With a much larger series from the disputed region,
whence Dr. Lowe had only five specimens, we are unable to substantiate any color
differences between birds from the south and others from Bahia and northwards,
neither the color of the throat nor that of the upper parts affording reliable criteria
for such a distinction. All that can be said is that there is a certain tendency to
slight increase in size, as we advance in a southerly direction, but this variation
is too insignificant to be expressed in nomenclature, as the table of measurements
given below clearly shows. Birds from Peru and Bolivia seem to me also insepara-
ble, though they generally have the crown darker (less brownish), the back more
grayish, and the rump on average more greenish. Exceptions are, however, too
frequent to justify segregation. This is more surprising as their range is separated
from the Brazilian area of this form by interposition of C. /. alleni, of Matto Grosso.
In size of bill, Peurvian examples sometimes approach C. f. magnirostris.

Although every one of the subspecific characters is to be found in occasional
individuals of chloropyga, the Matto Grosso form, when compared in a series,
stands out as a fairly well-marked unit. The range of C. alleni is peculiarly
restricted, since birds from Bolivia and southern Peru, as we have shown under
the preceding heading, are obviously inseparable from chloropyga.
Additional material examined. Matto Grosso: Abrilongo, 1; Chapada, 12.

Coereba flaveola minima (Bonaparte) Nearest to C. f. chloropyga, but upper
:
parts decidedly darker, more sooty, and the rump much brighter yellow; similar
also to C. /. guianensis, but not quite so dark above, with the rump somewhat
duller. Wing, 56-61, (female) 50-55; tail, 34-37, (female) 28-33; bill, 11-13.
Although exactly intermediate between guianensis and chloropyga, this form
cannot well be united to either of the two. While the majority of the individuals
from the area above circumscribed occupy an intermediate position, the darkest
examples are distinguishable from guianensis only by their duller (not lemon
chrome) rump. On the other hand, certain unusually dark-backed birds of
chloropyga from the Para region are also barely separable. The throat is mostly
pale gray as in chloropyga, but several skins from French Guiana and one from
Counany are just as dark-throated as any guianensis. Two adults from the Rio
Negro, by having a small white alar speculum, betray an unmistakable variation
towards C. /. intermedia. In all the rest of the series there is no trace of it.

Birds from the Caura Valley, Venezuela, are in every respect similar to those
from British Guiana. As far as is possible to judge from the slightly faded speci-
men, the type appears to belong with the race diffused through the lowland
districts of British Guiana.
This form closely resembles C. /. luteola in the rich coloration of the throat,
but is not so black above, and lacks the white wing-spot.
Additional material examined. British Guiana: Bartica Grove, 4; Camacusa, 1;
Demerara, 5; unspecified, 2. Venezuela: Suapure, Caura Valley, 6.

1 cannot help thinking that the specimen from Ciudad Bolivar sent by S. M.
Klages to the American Museum is incorrectly labeled, since five skins obtained
there by the same collector pertain without question to the black-backed Caribbean
race (C. /. luteola).

would like to see a more complete series before condemning it.

Coereba flaveola luteola (Cabanis) : Nearest to C. /. guianensis, but upper
parts deeper black with a conspicuous white alar speculum; throat darker gray;
rump and under surface richer lemon chrome.
In another connection (Arch. Naturg., 90, A, Heft 2, pp. 169-172, 1924) I
have explained that the segregation of an eastern form, for which the earliest name,
as ascertained by an examination of the type, is C. major Cabanis, was barely
justifiable. The far more extensive material at present available not only sub-
stantiates this conclusion, but also tends to show that even C. I. obscura cannot
be maintained. In making comparisons it should be kept in mind that males,
besides being larger, are distinguished by blacker back and more extensive,
brighter yellow uropygial area. Furthermore, old skins being apt to become duller
through fading, care must be taken in selecting proper material. With a goodly
number of recently collected specimens from Tobago, Trinidad, and northeastern
Venezuela, I fail to perceive the slightest difference in coloration. Dimensions
being also the same, I cannot but regard major, trinitatis and hellmayri as strictly
synonymous. C. godmani belongs here too, since the type (and only known
specimen) nowise different. If it really came from Grenada, it must have been
is
a straggler from Tobago. Birds from the Caracas-Lake Valencia region (typical
luteola) average duller on the upper parts, only a few males being as jet-black
as the majority from Trinidad, etc., and the few examples available from the
Rio Aurare (east shore of Lake Maracaibo) and the lower slopes of the Andes
overlooking the Maracaibo plains are similar. Three adult males from Encontrados

more richly colored; bill longer as well as stronger. Wing, 57-60, (female) 54-56;
tail, 34-36, (female) 30-33; bill, 12^-13^.
This form is truly intermediate between luteola and columbiana. It approaches
the Caribbean race in the darker coloration of the back, though it is never as jet-
black as highly plumaged adult males of luteola, and the rump, while brighter
yellow than in columbiana, does not quite attain the rich lemon-chrome tone of
luteola. Certain unusually dark-backed specimens of columbiana from Santander
come very close to females of montana, but have smaller bills and a duller, more
olive yellow rump. The large bill seems a fairly constant feature, though this
organ is hardly less developed in some specimens from Trinidad and Tobago.
Material examined. Venezuela: M6rida (alt. 1,600 meters), 14.

Coereba flaveola columbiana (Cabanis): Closely similar to C. /. mexicana,
but back somewhat darker, less olivaceous, and the rump decidedly brighter and
less greenish, strontianyellow instead of olive yellow.
Birds from the Panama Canal Zone
agree well with those from Colombia.
Specimens from Santander (Bucaramanga; El Tambor, Rio Lebrija) frequently
have the back darker (about chaetura drab}, the uropygial patch brighter yellow,
and the throat a deeper gray. Similar individuals also occur among native
"Bogota" skins. They evidently form the transition to C. /. luteola (which is
found not far away in the Maracaibo pocket). In fact, they can be told from
numerous females of that race only by their somewhat duller yellow rump.

Coereba flaveola intermedia (Salvadori and Festa) Exceedingly close to C. f.
:
columbiana, but under parts of a richer, brighter yellow, approaching wax yellow;
dorsal surface on average slightly darker, with the rump generally of a richer
yellow. From C. /. chloropyga this form chiefly differs by the conspicuous white
alar speculum, darker and more sooty back, brighter yellow rump, deeper gray
throat, etc.
Birds from western Ecuador average slightly darker, less olivaceous, on the
upper parts, though the variation is barely perceptible. Three adults from
Moyobamba are identical in coloration, but incline to larger measurements, thus
verging to C. /. magnirostris. How far south and east C. /. intermedia ranges in
Peru, I am unable to ascertain owing to lack of material. Taczanowski (Orn.
Pe"r., 1, p. 441, 1884) records C. chloropyga from Pebas, and Finsch (Verh. Zool.
Bot. Ges. Wien, 21, p. 781, 1871) refers two birds from the upper Ucayali to the
same form. It will be recalled that a series from Huanuco Province and Junin
(Chanchamayo) turned out to be inseparable from chloropyga, but where this race
meets the northern intermedia remains to be determined. About the name C.
peruviana, cf. footnote on p. 286.

Birds from Costa Rica agree with a series from Guatemala and a single
Jalapa specimen. We have not seen any Veraguan material, which Lowe refers
to the present form, but two skins from extreme western Panama (Chiriquf)
do not differ in any way from others of more northern origin. The duller, more
greenish yellow rump and the slightly paler, more olivaceous mantle serve to
distinguish this race from columbiana.

Coereba flaveola ferryi Cory: Most closely related to C. /. luteola, but forehead
with a varying amount of white; back slightly duller, more fuscous and less sooty;
uropygial area, though of equal extent, not quite so bright, strontian yellow rather
than lemon chrome; throat slightly darker gray; inner secondaries with narrow
pale grayish apical margins; extreme base of gape with suggestion of a bright-
colored tumid rictus. Wing, 58-60, (female) 55; tail, 38-41, (female) 36; bill,
This race is of unusual interest, proving as it does that even the bright tumid
rictus heretofore considered an exclusive character of the Antillean forms is not
an absolute criterion for their separation. While the continental C. f. luteola is
entirely deprived of this peculiarity, the Tortuga birds, at the extreme base of the
bill, show a distinct, though slight indication of such a development, which signifies
an undeniable approach to C. /. uropygialis of the Dutch West Indies. Other
points of passage in that direction are found in the duller coloration of the back
and rump, as well as in the narrow grayish apical edges to the inner secondaries
of the Tortuga form. The white color on the forehead is subject to considerable
individual variation; it is never abruptly defined posteriorly and gives the effect
of an irregular albinistic mutation. Scattered white feathers in the middle of the
forehead are of fairly frequent occurrence in uropygialis too, and certain individuals

have hardly less white than the specimen with the minimum amount from Tortuga.
C. /. ferryi is provided with a white alar speculum of the same extent as C. /. luteola,
whereas in C. /. uropygialis the white is either wholly concealed or shows, at best,
for the distance of one or two millimeters beyond the tips of the primary coverts.
The gray of the throat is, as a rule, darker than in luteola, and in one or two examples
fully as deep as in the type of C. I. obscura. The white apical spots on the lateral
rectrices are often, but not constantly, more extensive than in luteola. The
superciliaries are always white.
1
Coereba flaveola uropygialis Berlepsch: Nearly allied to C. f. ferryi, but
without a visible white alar speculum; upper parts less sooty, with the urqpygial
area more reduced and more greenish yellow; throat never gray, the chin and
the lateral portions being black, the remainder white; bright-colored tumid rictus
much more strongly developed. The grayish apical edges to the inner secondaries,
besides, are wider, and similar markings are also found on the greater upper
wing coverts.
There is some local variation in this form. Birds from Bonaire are on average
darker above and have more white on the throat, whereas males from Curasao
have the least amount of it. Exceptions are, however, frequent, and I do not see
any sufficient reason for further subdivision.

Coereba flaveola lowii Cory: Nearly related to, and agreeing with, C.f. aterrima
in the possession of a very conspicuous bright-colored tumid rictus, but readily
distinguishable by having the back and upper wing coverts chaetura-drab, much
paler and grayer than the black head; the edges to the remiges also paler, less
sooty; the breast and middle of the abdomen much more strongly tinged with

olive; the lower abdomen and under tail coverts grayish olive instead of sooty
gray; the uropygial patch somewhat brighter olive. Wings and tail are longer,
and the bill, while of the same length, is stouter and less curved, recalling in shape
that of C. f. laurae. Wing, 62, (female) 56; tail, 43, (female) 38; bill, 11-12.
A well-marked form of which only the four specimens listed above are known.
All are in the melanotic plumage. Two are adult; the two others are molting and,
if the abraded light yellowish olive feathers retained along the middle of the
breast are the remnants of the juvenile plumage, this would seem to be quite
different from the garb of the mature birds.
It remains to be ascertained by further exploration whether C. /. lowii is
dimorphic like the races living on Grenada and St. Vincent, or whether the mela-
notic variety alone has survived.
1
Coereba flaveola laurae Lowe: Resembles C. /. airata in measurements of
wing and tail as well as in coloration, but differs by lacking the bright crimson,
tumid rictus and also by decidedly stronger, more elongated, apically less curved
bill. Wing, 59-63, (female) 55-58; tail, 37-43, (female) 35-38; bill, 14-15.
Twelve specimens, adult and young, are all in the melanotic phase, and as
also Dr. P. R. Lowe and the late Comte de Dalmas, the only other visitors on the
islands, encountered only black birds, it may be taken for granted that no yellow-
bellied variety exists on Los Testigos. In general coloration, viz., in having a
distinct, though slight olive tinge on rump and posterior under parts, C. /. laurae
comes pretty close to C. /. atrata, but is, if anything, somewhat blacker above,
not "grayer" as stated by the describer. The bill, however, is much larger, both
stouter and longer, and less curved in its apical portion. Not one of the
twelve specimens shows the slightest trace of a crimson, tumid rictus, the bill being
entirely black as in C. f. luteola.

Coereba flaveola aterrima (Lesson) exists in two varieties long regarded as
different species. The normal form with white superciliaries, olive-yellow uropygial
patch, white alar speculum, white tips to lateral rectrices, and yellow under parts,
is not unlike C. /. luteola, but may be distinguished by blackish slate (instead of
black) upper parts, less extensive and duller, olive yellow rather than lemon chrome
rump patch, dark slate gray (instead of neutral gray) throat, and duller, lemon-
yellow ventral surface. The melanotic form (aterrima, wellsi) is blackish (without
any white on wings or tail excepting buffy whitish margins to the inner webs of the
remiges), though rump, breast, and middle of the abdomen, i.e. those parts that are
yellow in the normal form (morrisi), show a more or less pronounced olive-greenish

That the black individuals merely represent a melanotic "phase" appears to
me quite certain. The normal form (morrisi) has become very rare on the main
island of Grenada, where the blackish variety is the dominant one. On the
Grenadines, however, only yellow-bellied birds are reported to occur. The type of
D. aterrimum, when compared to a good series of Grenada skins, is found to agree
in every respect. The locality "St. Thomas," cited by Pucheran, is without
question erroneous.

Coereba flaveola atrata (Lawrence) is exceedingly close to C. /. aterrima, but
may be recognized by its larger size and somewhat longer as well as more robust
bill. The normal form (saccharina) is identical in coloration, whereas the mel-
anotic form (atrata) is of a deeper, more uniform black, very rarely with a faint

The normal form (saccharina) is believed to be practically extinct nowadays.
Lowe saw but a single specimen alive, while neither Clark nor Bond ever met with
a yellow-bellied bird. Three skins of that variety in Field Museum were collected
by Ober and W. E. Richardson in 1878 and 1886; the two others (undated) were
obtained from a dealer. The bright-colored tumid rictus is quite conspicuous in the
St. Vincent Bananaquit.

Coereba flaveola martinicana (Reichenbach), in coloration of throat, resembles
C./. uropygialis, but differs by blacker upper parts, much shorter superciliaries, and
much duller yellow, laterally olive-tinged under parts.
There does not seem to be any constant difference between the birds of the two
islands.

Coereba flaveola bartholemica (Sparrman) differs readily from C. /. martini-
cana and C. /. barbadensis by its uniformly slate-colored throat.
Attempts at subdividing form into two races have been made by both
this
Ridgway and Lowe, but with a selected series of specimens from most of the islands
including topotypes of bartholemica, dominicana, frontalis (=atlantica), and
sundevalli I am unable to verify any of the supposed characters. As has been
correctly pointed out by Noble, neither the intensity of the coloration of the lower
parts nor the extent of the white superciliaries has any geographical significance,
being completely bridged by individual variation among specimens from the same
island. There may be possibly a slight tendency to a darker slaty throat in the
southern islands (Guadeloupe to Dominica), but even in that respect several
birds from St. Kitts cannot be told from others collected in Dominica. The white
wing-spot, though perhaps more frequently suggested in examples from St. Bar-
tholomew, St. Kitts, and Anguilla, is too variable a feature to admit more than
one form. Birds with partly yellow superciliaries (sundevalli) and those with a
whitish frontal band (frontalis) are not confined to any particular island, and fall
within the range of individual variation.

the black space on lores and auriculars appears to be generally more restricted.
The late Outram Bangs noticed between birds from Grand Cayman and
those from the two other islands certain differences which he thought might be
seasonable. Our own material does not help toward elucidating this point, most
of the specimens collected on the smaller islands being badly discolored by May-
nard's "dermal preservative."

Coereba flaveola caboti (Ridgway), while agreeing in large size with the other
races of the western Caribbean Sea, nevertheless betrays a certain tendency in the
direction of C. f. mexicana by the restriction of the pale drab-gray gular area to
the throat proper and the distribution of the white on the lateral rectrices, this
color being practically limited to the inner vane of the feathers, as in the conti-
nental representatives. There does not seem to be a bright-colored tumid rictus
either, so far as I can determine from the few specimens at hand.

Ateleodacnis speciosa amazonum Hellmayr: Male similar to A. s. speciosa,
but much darker throughout; the upper parts much darker, more purplish blue;
lower surface deep slaty blue, the white abdominal area at best suggested by some
whitish fringes; female not certainly distinguishable. Wing, 54-59, (female) 52;
tail, 40-42, (female) 36; bill, 9-10.
This dark form obviously ranges throughout the Amazon Valley from the
confines of British Guiana to the eastern base of the Andes. Two adult males
from the upper Rio Branco (Forte do Sao Joaquim) are, as far as I can see, insep-
arable from Peruvian specimens, while one from "Bogota" is even darker under-
neath. No material is available from the southern bank of the lower Amazon.

Without adult males it is impossible to decide whether the single female from
Maranura belongs to A. s. speciosa or A. s. amazonum.

Ateleodacnis leucogenys is possibly conspecific with A. speciosa.

Ateleodacnis leucogenys panamensis Griscom: "Similar to A. I. leucogenys of
Colombia, but adult males much darker both above and below, the general color
dark Payne's gray instead of Payne's gray; females slightly darker above, with
little or no tinge of green." (Griscom, I.e.).
We are not acquainted with this race, which, judging from the description,
would seem to be somewhat intermediate in the coloration of the under parts
between typical leucogenys and cyanochrous. Although the author makes no
reference to the last-named form, it can hardly be the same in view of its widely
separated habitat, since A. I. leucogenys occupies the intervening section of northern
Colombia.

Cassin (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1864, p. 270) and Berlepsch (Ibis, 1881, p.
242). The characters, "Size small, length three inches and three-quarters; bill
short, dusky brown; plumage above deep lead-color, nearly black; beneath pale
ash-colour; quills and tail dusky; legs deep brown," clearly indicate that Latham
had some entirely different bird in mind. The type, formerly in the Leverian
Museum, seems to have disappeared; at all events it is not among the objects
acquired by the Vienna Museum at the sale of Sir Lever's collection.

1 cannot make out from the description Dacnis plumbeus Tschudi (Faun.
Peru., Aves, p. 236, 1846). The species is said to be common on the coast and in
the wood region of Peru, where A. bicolor does not occur at all. If really founded
on a bird collected by Tschudi himself, it must refer to some other species, but
which, I am unable to say.

Ateleodacnis bicolor minor subsp. nov. 2 LESSER ATELEODACNIS.

Birds from Venezuela, Trinidad, and the Guianas agree well together.
Specimens from eastern Brazil are, on average, slightly paler blue above and
perhaps not quite so dark brownish buff underneath, but as a good many are not
distinguishable, the recognition of a separate race (A. b. caerulescens) seems to be
uncalled for. Five skins from the coast of Para (Cajutuba, east of Belem), by
having the under parts but faintly washed with pale buff, exhibit a certain tend-
ency in the direction of A. margaritae. The sexes are nearly alike in adult plumage,
the females merely differing by smaller size and somewhat duller, less bluish,
dorsal surface. Birds with light olive upper, and clear yellow under parts repre-
sent the juvenile plumage.
This form seems to be restricted to the mangrove thickets (Rhizophora mangle)
along the seashore and in brackish waters.

coverts brighter than, instead of uniform with, the abdomen; cheeks and auric-
ulars strongly brownish buff, not at all grayish. Wing, 54-58; tail, 36-40; tars.,
16-16H; bill, 10.
This small form seems to replace the typical race in the valley of the Amazon,
its range being evidently quite extensive, since an adult bird from the Rio Napo
agrees in every respect with those from the Rio Madeira. Mr. Zimmer (in litt.),
who confirms its distinctness, writes that the American Museum of Natural
History has a good series from Santarem, Villa Bella de Imperatriz (west of the
Rio Tapaj6z), and both banks of the lower Rio Madeira, as well as two specimens
from the mouth of the Curaray in Ecuador.
Ateleodacnis margaritae Holt: Closely allied to A. b. bicolor and similar in
1
size, but upper parts clearer blue gray, and lower parts, including the sides of the
head, very pale gray (near light gull gray) without any buffy; bill slightly wider;
feet darker reddish. Wing, 62; tail, 44; bill, 11.
Though one would be tempted to consider this bird as subspecifically related
to A. bicolor, such cannot well be the case, for, as I am informed by Mr. Zimmer,
the American Museum of Natural History has specimens of both A. b. minor and
A. margaritae, from Igarape Auara, just above Borba, on the right bank of the
Rio Madeira. A single adult female, collected by J. Hauxwell at Nauta, Peru, on
September 12, 1880, differs from a lower-Amazonian skin by still paler
(light neutral gray) upper, and nearly pure white under parts; but whether this
divergency is of any significance other than seasonal cannot be decided owing to
its very worn condition. Both specimens have slightly wider bills and darker
feet than A. bicolor.

Conirostrum sitticolor cyaneum Taczanowski: Similar to C. s. intermedium
in having broad blue superciliaries, but sides of head, throat, and foreneck slaty
bluish (green-blue slate to dark green-blue slate) instead of black; posterior under
parts paler ochraceous. The blue superciliary streak, besides, is more extended
anteriorly, reaching frequently to above the loral region. Wing of males, 64-673^
(Bolivia), 70 (Maraynioc); tail, 53-56.
Birds from western Bolivia and southeastern Peru (Limbani) are well charac-
terized by slaty gular area and slightly darker (slaty black) sides of the head. The
type from Sillapata (an unsexed adult in full molt), which we have examined
many years ago, and a female from Maraynioc are similar, but a male from the
latter locality already shows some blackish suffusion on the upper throat. Two
adults from above Panao, Huanuco, have the whole upper throat dull blackish,
thus diverging in the direction of C. s. sitticolor. The gap is closed by the male
from Molinopampa, which has throat, foreneck, and sides of head very nearly as
deep black as sitticolor, and approaches the latter form, furthermore, by having
the blue superciliaries more restricted. In other words, C. s. cyaneum, in northern
Peru, gradually passes into C. s. sitticolor.

Though quoted by Sclater in the synonymy of C. s. sitticolor, C. bicolor is
referable to C. rufum, as the description plainly shows.
2
A single adult from the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta seems to agree with
"Bogota" skins.
3
Conirostrum ferrugineiventre Sclater is nearly related to C. rufum and differs
chiefly by lacking the rufous forehead, distinctly black crown, white instead of
rufous super ciliaries, dark gray instead of dull rufous sides of head and malar
region, lighter under parts, etc. Wing, (male) 67-74, (female) 64-68; tail, 54-58,
(female) 50-55; bill, 10^-12.
The few Peruvian specimens examined seem to be similar to a Bolivian
series. This strongly marked bird is probably conspecific with C. rufum, though
their habitats are widely separated, a circumstance that may prevent their
intergradation.

inseparable from a Bolivian series. A single female from Maraynioc, by reason

of its size (wing, 61 tail, 50) and blackish crown, seems likewise referable to the

Conirostrum albifrons cyanonotum Todd: "Pileum Hay's blue, with a few
silvery white streaks on the forehead; upper parts in general black, overlaid with
azurite blue, brightening into smalt blue on the rump and upper tail coverts;
wings black with narrow outer edgings of azurite blue, and lesser wing coverts
almost "solid" azurite blue; sides of head and entire under parts blackish violet
gray with a deep bluish cast in some lights, especially posteriorly; female differing
from that of C. a. albifrons only by its duller green upper parts. Wing, 74-77,
(female) 69; tail, 56-58, (female) 53; bill, 11^-12." (Todd, I.e.).
This recently discovered form, doubtless a geographical race of C. albifrons,
appears to differ in the male sex from the White-capped Cone-bill of Colombia by
having the pileum blue with a few silvery white streaks instead of uniform white,
and by having a brighter blue rump, and more bluish under parts.

We have no topotypical material, but males from western Ecuador and
northern Peru, which agree well together, correspond to Lafresnaye's description
except in having the outer margins to the remiges purplish blue instead of oliva-
ceous. The close relationship between albifrons and atrocyaneum is plainly shown
by the occasional occurrence of scattered blue feathers in the generally wholly
white crown of males from Colombia (albifrons}, as well as by the similarity in the
female sex. If white-crowned males really occur in Ecuador, as is suggested by
Sclater's record of albifrons from "Jima," such individuals might have to be
regarded as reversional mutants rather than albinistic examples of atrocyaneum.

CONE-BILL.

Conirostrum albifrons sordidum Berlepsch: Similar in the male sex to C. a.
atrocyaneum; but dorsal surface mainly dull black with merely a faint purplish
blue sheen on the mantle, and the purple blue uropygial area much duller as well
as less extensive; lower parts dull black, only the tips of the tail coverts slightly
tinged with purplish; blue humeral patch restricted to the lesser upper wing coverts,
consequently much smaller; edges to larger wing coverts and remiges duller bluish.
Wing, (male) 71-72, (female) 63-66; tail, 56-59, (female) 50-54; bill, 11-12.
The above diagnosis is based on the type specimen from San Antonio, Dept.
La Paz, Bolivia. Males from Idma, Urubamba, and Garita del Sol, Junin, Peru,
diverge towards C. a. atrocyaneum, as represented by specimens from northern
Peru (Tamiapampa, Tambillo) and western Ecuador, by having the under parts
slightly glossed with bluish, and the purplish sheen above, particularly on the
rump and humeral area, more strongly suggested. The margins to the remiges
are dusky olive green rather than dull bluish. Females cannot be distinguished
with certainty from those of atrocyaneum.

The type of 0. binghami differs from all other specimens examined by white
instead of chestnut superciliaries. The white chin and the mainly white malar
region claimed for this supposed southern form are also found in an (apparently
immature) male from Ollachea, which, besides, has a narrower chestnut super-
ciliary streak interspersed with some white feathers. Three other Peruvian
specimens, two from Ollachea and one from Anta, Cuzco, however, agree with
those from Ecuador and Colombia in coloration, viz., in having broad chestnut
superciliaries, chestnut chin, and the malar region spotted with black and chest-
nut, and it seems very questionable if the slightly longer bill of the inhabitants of
Peru affords sufficient grounds for their separation.

The description appears to refer to the young male. The bird sent from
Santo Domingo by M. Chervain is more likely to refer to C. a. pusilla.
3
Fromthe habitat assigned to the species it is evident that Vieillot included
both C. americana and C. a. pusilla under Sylvia torquata, but description and
a.
figure clearly refer to the Southern Parula Warbler without a dusky band across
the chest, while the winter range, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico, is that of C. o.
pusilla. Moreover, Vieillot's name seems to have been largely intended as a sub-
stitute of Parus americanus and Motacilla ludoviciana, both of which are quoted
in the synonymy.

The pitiayumi series may ultimately prove to be conspecific with C. americana.

*Compsothlypis pitiayumi pacifica(Berlepsch and Taczanowski). 2

PACIFIC OLIVE-BACKED WARBLER.
Compsothlypis pitiayumi nana Griscom: "Most closely resembling C. p.
1
elegans in coloration, but green patch on back greatly reduced in area; size much
smaller. Wing (adult female), 46 M; tail, 30." (Griscom, I.e.).
This race, though known only from females, appears to be distinguished by
its dimensions, which are much inferior to those of the corresponding sex of C. p.
elegans. In size it apparently forms the transition to C. p. pacifica, from which it
differs by darker coloration and broader white wing bands.

This is not a strongly marked race, and single specimens cannot always be
distinguished from typical pitiayumi; but when series are compared the brighter
bluish tone of the upper parts in the northern birds is undeniable. While adult
males from different parts of Venezuela and Colombia agree in color, those
from Trinidad are more deeply colored beneath, having the throat and chest of a

Compsothlypis pitiayumi roraimae Chapman: Exceedingly similar to C. p.
elegans, but olive green interscapular area more restricted; flanks tinged with
olivaceous; tarsi and toes blackish rather than brown; lower mandible tipped with
blackish. Wing (male), 56; tail, 42; bill, 10.
Two specimens of this seemingly recognizable race, both from Roraima,
have been examined. It evidently replaces C. p. elegans in the subtropics of
Mounts Roraima and Duida.
[Two examples from the upper Rio Branco (Forte do Sao Joaquim), in north-
ern Brazil, show none of the characters of the upland bird, and appear to be
inseparable from C. p. elegans, of Venezuela.]
Compsothlypis pitiayumi alarum Chapman: Much like C. p. elegans, but

wings slightly longer, and median upper wing coverts wholly without, or with
but a trace of white. Wing (adult male), 59-60; tail, 41-42.

typical male from Chaupe) has no trace of white on the median wing coverts, a
male from Mapoto shows a distinct, though narrow, second wing band. I am,
therefore, inclined to follow Mr. Zimmer in extending the range of alarum to the
Department of Huanuco, though further material from that region is urgently
needed to confirm this identification.
Additional material examined. Eastern Ecuador: Mapoto, 1; Machay, 1;
Baeza, 1. Peru: Chaupe, 1.
Compsothlypis pitiayumi melanogenys Todd: Similar to C. p. elegans, but
1
upper parts somewhat darker indigo blue, more like C. p. pacifica; lower surface
more richly colored; white area on lateral rectrices generally more extensive.
Wing, 56-58, (female) 51-53; tail, 40-43.
This race sometimes so closely approaches C. p. elegans as to be barely dis-
tinguishable. The deeper coloration, especially of the upper parts, holds in
most cases, but the white tail markings are subject to much variation. There
are two white wing bands, very nearly as well developed as in C. p. elegans, and
this feature, in conjunction with its smaller size, serves to separate it from C. p.
alarum. Three Peruvian specimens compare well with a series from the Yungas
of La Paz.

Further subdivision of this form appears to me unwarranted. Ten adult
males from Cofre de Perote, Vera Cruz, measure on the wing from 74 to 78,
against 72 to 76 in four from Jalisco, and as no difference whatever exists in colora-
tion I consider the slightly smaller size of the western birds too insignificant to
maintain the race jaliscensis.
2
Peucedramus olivaceus aurantiacus Ridgway: According to Miller and
Griscom, similar to P. o. olivaceus in rich tawny-ochraceous head and throat,
but clearer gray above and below, and slightly smaller.
Four Vera Paz skins I am hardly able to separate from typical olivaceus, as
represented by twelve specimens from Cofre de Perote, Vera Cruz, by very slightly
paler gray coloration of the body plumage. In size they resemble the smaller
individuals from Mexico. A single example from Chiapas seems to be similar.
I must confess I am a little doubtful about the validity of the race aurantiacus;
yet in the absence of recently collected Guatemalan material I prefer to follow
Miller and Griscom in admitting it.

We have examined the type, taken by J. Kalinowski on February 26, 1891.
It is a brightly colored male of D, a. aestiva, which can be matched by numerous
individuals from various parts of the eastern United States, one from Georgia
being very similar. The Yellow Warbler is a well-known winter visitor to
South America, and the supposition of a resident Peruvian race seems altogether
unfounded.

Van Rossem considers D. a, morcomi, of the Rocky Mountains, to be distin-
guishable by slightly larger size and duller (less yellowish) green coloration from
D. a. aestiva, and by larger size and (in the males) heavier breast-streaking from
D. a. brewsteri, and would assign to it breeding birds from the Great Basin slope
of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. Extreme western localities for morcomi
as represented in his series are Inyo and Mono counties, the Truckee River in
Nevada County, California, and Benton County, Washington. Although the
latest edition of the A. O. U. Check List does not recognize D. a. morcomi, the
matter evidently merits further consideration.

Dendroica aestiva amnicola Batchelder: Similar to D. a. aestiva, but stated
to differ in the male sex by darker green, less yellowish between warbler green
and sulphine yellow back; more restricted and duller yellow of the forehead;
narrower as well as duller, citron yellow rather than strontian yellow, edges to
the remiges; and on average less richly colored under parts with darker chestnut
streaks; female duskier, less yellowish above. (Batchelder, I.e.)
This race, which is regarded by Noble as a well-marked one, seems to be
not unlike D. a. rubiginosa, but distinguished by the yellow forehead contrasting
with the green of the back. Mr. J. L. Peters (in litt.) writes, however, that it is
not always readily separable from the latter, though obviously distinct from
typical aestiva. While we have no definite information as to its winter home,
it should be noted that Griscom refers a transient taken on May 4 at Finca Chama,
Guatemala, to D. a. amnicola.

Dendroica aestiva inedita Phillips: "Most nearly like D. a. dugesi, but slightly
smaller, and the female very different in color, being bright yellow below, and
dull greenish yellow above instead of grayish; also somewhat similar to D. o.
sonorana in general coloration of the male, but much larger, and the female more
brightly colored (yellower below and more greenish above). Wing, 62-65, (female)
59-61; tail, 43-47, (female) 42-44; bill, 10-11." (Phillips, I.e.).
This form, described from migrant individuals, probably breeds in the moun-
tains of western Tamaulipas. A
single specimen has been recorded by Griscom
from western Guatemala (Ocos).

The Golden Warblers (Dendroica petechia), though closely related to D.
aestiva, differ neverthelessby more rounded wing, shorter wing tip, and propor-
tionately longer tail, and may conveniently be regarded as constituting a separate
specific entity. Yet at some future date it might be found to be more logical to
include them in the same "formenkreis," as the derivation of the migratory and
sedentary species from a common ancestral stock seems hardly in doubt.

*Dendroica petechia melanoptera Lawrence. 2 GUADELOUPE

GOLDEN WARBLER.
1
As stated above, I am inclined to agree with Wetmore that, if cruciana
and bartholemica be kept distinct, the range of the latter should be restricted to
the northern Lesser Antilles east of the Anegada Channel. Montserrat, whence
we have no material,included here on Bond's authority. Nicoll (Ibis, 1904,
is
from that island to D. "ruficapilla" [=D. p. melanoptera],
p. 571) referred three birds
an allocation which seems to be open to serious doubt.
2
Dendroica petechia melanoptera Lawrence: Similar to D. p. bartholemica, but
decidedly smaller; rufous crown patch in adult males much more extensive; female
frequently with traces of rufous in the crown.
Birds from Marie Galante agree with those from Guadeloupe, while Dominican
specimens are slightly larger.

*Dendroica petechia ruficapilla (Gmelin). 1

MARTINIQUE GOLDEN
WARBLER.
1
Dendroica petechia ruficapilla (Gmelin), although easily distinguished from
all other Antillean races by the adult male haying the throat and sides of the
head rufous, is otherwise so closely connected with them through the coloration
of the female and immature plumage that I cannot see any reason for its specific
separation. The Martinique bird is merely a small edition of the continental
D. p. erithachorides, and the reappearance of this rufous-throated form in the heart
of the range of yellow-throated races seems to afford good evidence for considering
the Golden Warblers and Mangrove Warblers (D. erithachorides group) as a single
taxonomic unit, inasmuch as nowhere two representatives are known to coexist
during the breeding season.
As to the proper name of the Martinique Golden Warbler, I do not see how
we can avoid using Gmelin's term. The description of Motacilla ruficapilla,
based upon a specimen from Martinique in the collection of Abb6 Aubry, applies
very well to females (cf. "la gorge, la partie infe>ieure du col et la poitrine sont
jaunes et vari6es de taches longitudinales rousses"), and there is evidently no
valid ground for the assumption that an error had been made with respect to the
locality.
Another probable synonym is Dendroeca granadensis Sharpe (Cat. Bds.
Brit. Mus., 10, p. 284, 1885), based on three specimens from "Colombia" in the
Motacilla ruficapilla Gmelin, Syst. Nat., 1, (2), p. 971, 1789 based on "Le

Dendroica petechia babad Bond. 1 SANTA LUCIA GOLDEN

WARBLER.
British Museum, one of which I have been permitted to examine through the good
offices of Mr. N. B. Kinnear. The skin (of a preparation unknown to me) still
bears an old label: "E Mus. P. L. Sclater. Dendroeca vieilloti. No. in Cat. 169,
c. Mexico? Verreaux," the locality (in Sclater's handwriting) being crossed out
and corrected by Chubb to "Colombia." It is much smaller (wing, 56; tail, 46
mm.) than any of the continental races of petechia, but agrees in size with the
Martinique form (ruficapilla). Compared with three adult males from Martinique,
it differs, however, by the much paler and less extensive rufous color on the head,
only the forehead and middle crown being dull ochraceous tawny and passing
gradually into the citrine of the back, while the lores, sides of head, and short
superciliaries as well as the chin and throat are yellow ocher. There are a number
of rufescent (between buckthorn brown and ochraceous tawny) streaks on the
foreneck and a few scattered tiny markings on chest and sides of breast, this
streaking being much narrower, paler, and more restricted than in the males
from Martinique, and the yellow ground-color of the under parts is much less
brilliant. Although I have at present only adult males from Martinique for
direct comparison, I am inclined to believe that D. granadensis may have been
based on females or immature males of D. p. ruficapilla. At all events, it has noth-
ing to do with any of the "erithachorides" forms found in Panama and Colombia.
Being familiar with Verreauxian labels and their sometimes hardly decipherable
or abbreviated localities, I think it quite possible that Sclater might have
mistaken "Martinique" for "Mexique."

Dendroica petechia babad Bond: "Similar to D. p. melanoptera, but slightly
larger; crown patch of male more restricted and darker (a rich chestnut rather
than orange rufous) and with every feather strongly tipped with yellow or greenish
yellow; female without any trace of rufous on the crown or forehead." Wing,
(male) 60, (female) 58; tail, 50-51; bill, 14-15.
"This race is very different from D. p. petechia, from Barbados, while the form
and coloring of the crown patch at once distinguish it from D. p. alsiosa, from
the Grenadines." (Bond, I.e.).

Dendroica petechia alsiosa Peters: Similar to D. p. melanoptera, but slightly
larger; bill stouter and more decurved; adult male with the forehead golden
yellow like the lores (instead of orange rufous like the crown). Wing (male),
61-63; tail, 51-53; bill, 14-15.
This form, of which we have seen but two males from Carriacou, seems well
characterized. It is said to be common on Prune Island, less so on Carriacou
and Union Islands. From Grenada proper there is only one record, an immature
male, taken by Grant Wells many years ago, which A. H. Clark refers to the
present form.
Dendroica petechia petechia (Linnaeus) is a strongly marked race by reason
2
of itsdark chestnut forehead and crown, sharply defined from the broad golden
yellow loral and superciliary streak. The bill has about the same length as in
D. p. alsiosa.
3
As has been clearly set forth by Peters, the specific name petechia, long em-
ployed for the Jamaican Golden Warbler, must be transferred to the present
race. Edwards's figure of "The Yellow Red-pole," the only basis of Linne's
account, is indeed an excellent representation of the Barbados bird.

Dendroica petechia rufopileala Ridgway is with difficulty distinguishable
from D. p. petechia by the lesser extent of the rufous crown patch and on average
larger size. All the other alleged characters indicated by various authors fail to
hold in the large series of Field Museum.
Birds from different islands show certain variations, but even with the present
extensive material I cannot bring myself to advocate further subdivision. Speci-
mens from Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire have fairly uniform bright yellowish
green upper parts, and vary but slightly in size. Males from Aruba measure on
the wing from 57 to 62, those from the two other islands from 59 to 62 mm. Birds
from Los Roques and Isla de Aves are darker greenish with the cap inclining
to darker chestnut (fully as deep as in typical petechia}, and their wings range
from 60 to 63 mm. The Los Roques form has been described by Cory as D. r.
obscura. If this race be maintained, the birds from Isla de Aves must undoubtedly
go with it, and not with rufopileata as claimed by Cory. The series from Tortuga,
Blanquilla, and Testigos are slightly different again, being above even brighter
yellowish with wider yellow wing margins than typical rufopileata, though a good
many cannot be separated. Instead of recognizing three more or less ill-defined
local races, I rather prefer to keep the whole population under one name.

This locality is clearly erroneous. The specimen has no original label, but
merely a printed tag "E Mus. O. S. & F. D. G. Cozumel I., Yucatan, 1885. . . .
G. F. Gaumer," the date being left in blank. It formed part of the collection upon
which Salvin's account of the "Birds of the Islands of the Coast of Yucatan and
of the Bay of Honduras" in the "Ibis" for 1888 et seq. was based. In this paper
(p. 248) the author expressly states that "D. petechia [=D. p. rufivertex] is found
in Cozumel Island, to the exclusion of D. bryanti and the migratory D. aestiva,"
while D. bryanti is credited to the islands of Holbox and Bonacca. There seems,
therefore, little doubt that the specimen really originated in one of these islands,
and that the locality "Cozumel" is due to a confusion of the label.

Dendroica petechia erithachorides Baird, in the male sex, is easily separated
from D. p. xanthotera by much lighter, rufous rather than chestnut coloration of the
head, lesser extent of the rufous gular area, and much wider rufous pectoral streaks.
1
Dendroica petechia aequatorialis Sundevall: Very similar to D. p. erithachorides,
but adult male with rufous pectoral streaks decidedly wider and coalescent with
the rufous gular area.
As has been pointed out by Peters, this form appears to be entitled to
Sundevall 's name aequatorialis, whose type very likely came from the vicinity of
Panama City, and not from Guayaquil. Birds from the Pearl Islands are evidently
the same as those from the Atlantic coast of Panama.

Its range possibly extends west into the Veraguas. No representative of
the group having been obtained on Gorgona Island in recent years, this locality
(attached to a specimen in the British Museum from Kellett and Wood's collec-
tions, whose indications are notoriously unreliable) remains to be corroborated.
2
Dendroica petechia peruviana Sundevall: Very similar to D. p. aureola, but
adult males much more broadly streaked with rufous underneath. Certain
specimens have the throat clouded with rufous, and this color sometimes extends
even onto the cheeks and auriculars. Such individuals closely approach D. p.
aequatorialis and thus afford another proof for the conspecific relationship of the
erithachorides group with D. petechia.
It is perhaps a little doubtful whether this form really ranges as far south as
Callao, where it has not been obtained in recent times.

Oberholser separates the Rocky Mountain race as D. a. memorabilis on
account of larger size and greater extent of black on under parts and sides of the
head. Its breeding range is given as reaching from Saskatchewan and Alberta
to Arizona and Texas. While Grinnell and Griscom are inclined to admit its
distinctness, the form is not recognized by the latest edition of the A. O. U. Check
List,and evidently requires further study.
2
As pointed out by Griscom (I.e.), this race probably requires subdivision.
Birds from Arizona are likely to constitute a distinct form, while the unique type
of D. goldmani obtained in January in western Guatemala is almost certainly a
migrant of typical nigrifrons, from northwestern Mexico.

might reveal characters not discernible in Cory's original specimens, which are all

sides of the breast streaked with dusky olive instead of black. Still, the group
is possibly conspecific with D. discolor.
1
Dendroica vitellina nelsoni Bangs: Similar to D. v. vitellina, but sides of breast
almost unstreaked or with but faint dusky olive stripes; dark markings on sides
of head much more indistinct and not abruptly contrasting with the yellow auric-
ulars and superciliaries; wing bands duller, olive yellow to ecru olive rather than
lemon or citron yellow; white areas of lateral rectrices less defined. Wing (males),
56-60; tail, 50-52; bill, 10-11.
This form is restricted to Swan Island. Ridgway's record from St. Andrews,
credited to "Cory, Auk, 4, p. 181, 1887," is an erroneous quotation.

Dendroica plumbea guadeloupensis Brodkorb Similar to D. p. plumbea, but
:
upper surface of a clearer slate color and the under parts, except the median portion,
with more or less defined slate gray streaks instead of uniform slate gray; immature
plumage above more yellowish green, the median abdominal area deeper yellow,
and the streaks on the flanks more pronounced as well as more greenish, olive
green rather than grayish olive. Size about the same.
Though the characters are somewhat variable and do not hold in every
single individual, the form as a whole seems recognizable, when series are compared.

Geothlypis trichas typhicola Burleigh: Nearest toG. t. trichas, but with longer
wing and tail, more brownish upper parts, darker flanks, and more extensively
yellowish under parts. Wing, 55, (female) 50; tail, 56, (female) 50; bill, 10-10^.
From G. t. ignota it is distinguishable by its distinctly smaller bill and less
brownish upper parts, and from G. t. brachidactyla by its more brownish upper
surface, duller gray crown patch, smaller bill, and longer tail. On the coast of
North Carolina it intergrades with G. t. trichas, while specimens from extreme
southern Georgia and southeastern Alabama approach G. t. ignota in the larger
size of the bill (Burleigh, I.e.).
Sylvia roscoe Audubon (Orn. Biog., 1, p. 124, 1831 "not far from the River

seems to be unidentifiable. The type, if there ever was one, has disappeared, and
from Chapman's investigations it results that the Mississippi Valley bird is not
properly separable from G. t. trichas.

Geothlypis trichas insperata van Tyne: Similar to G. t. trichas, but bill larger;

forehead more whitish and general coloration paler. Compared with G. t. occi-
dentalis, it is smaller (wing of male 53-56 instead of 55-60), but has a larger bill,
more whitish belly and flanks, and less extensively white forehead. From G. t.
brachidactyla it may be separated by paler coloration and shorter wings, and its
bill is larger even than in that race. The ninth primary, inG. t. insperata, is shorter
than the fourth instead of being longer as in G. t. brachidactyla. In proportion of
the ninth primary it resembles G. t. ignota, but is much paler and has a much
larger bill, the last-named character being sufficient to distinguish G. t. insperata
from the Pacific coast forms. From G. t. melanops the new form differs by being
much smaller and more whitish on the belly. Male: wing, 53-56; tail, 48-53

rostrata Bryant. BRYANT'S YELLOW-

Geothlypis rostratus Bryant, Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H., 11, p. 67, 1867 Nassau,
New Providence (cotypes in U. S. National Museum and Museum of
Geothlypis flavovelata Ridgway seems to be nearly related to G. beldingi,

1
but to differ by much smaller size. It was originally based on a single male ob-
tained in winter (December). Specimens secured in April and May at Altamira
were separated as G. flaviceps, but the describer now admits that the names are
synonymous.
Not having met with the species, I am unable to say anything definite on its
relationship and rank.
2
Geothlypis chapalensis Nelson: "Pattern of coloration as in G. melanops, but
black mask extends higher up on forehead; light area bordering black mask
yellow; upper parts olive green; under parts richer yellow; culmen, tail, and tarsus
longer. In fresh plumage the brown on crown and nape hides the basal yellow of
the feathers, but as the plumage becomes worn the brown gradually disappears,
and the yellow band on crown broadens until in one of our series of eleven specimens
the crown and nape are entirely yellow (much as in G. flaviceps)" (Nelson, I.e.).
From this account it results that G. chapalensis has no relation to the G.
trichas group (of which G. melanops is a member), but clearly belongs in the vicinity
of G. flavovelata. The chief difference separating it from the latter appears to be
its larger size (wing, 61 against 51-56; tail, 63 against 49-53), but whether there
are any other points of distinction I am unable to say for lack of material.
The affinities of the Bahaman group of yellow-throats need more thorough
3
investigation than I can at present bestow on the subject, though I feel inclined
to agree with Mr. Todd that G. rostrata is possibly more nearly related to the
Mexican "species" (G. beldingi, G. flavovelata, andG. chapalensis) than to the North
American G. trichas. Yet without a better understanding of the Mexican repre-
sentatives of the genus further speculations as to its probable origin seem, to say
the least, futile.

There is considerable divergency among ornithologists as to the significance
of certain variations observable in specimensfrom the same island. While Ridgway
distinguished not less than three "species" occurring side by side on the island of
New Providence, Mr. Todd, in a very able paper, came to the conclusion that
the differences are wholly due to age and wear, thus supporting Bonhote's conten-
tion that there was only one yellow-throat found on any one island. Upon
independent investigation of the problem I can but fully sustain this view in
spite of Mr. Bangs's subsequent objections. The birds with bright yellowish
olive back and deep yellow under parts (G. maynardi) appear to represent the
fully adult plumage, those with duller greenish dorsal surface, paler yellow under
parts, and more or less buffy flanks (G. rostrata) the first annual plumage. The
type of G. flavida, which we have examined in the British Museum, is certainly
*Geothlypis rostrata tanneri Ridgway.

*Geothlypis rostrata coryi Ridgway. CORY'S YELLOW-THROAT.
Geothlypis coryi Ridgway, Auk, 3, p. 334, 1886 Eleuthera Island, Bahamas
(type in U. S. National Museum); idem, Auk, 8, p. 336, 1891 Eleuthera;
Cory, Auk, 8, p. 351, 1891 Eleuthera; Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus.,
nothing but an unusually brightly colored individual of the New Providence form,
verging somewhat in the direction of G. r. tanneri.
Birds from Andros (G. exigua), when compared with those from New Provi-
dence, average slightly smaller and have generally, though not constantly, shorter
bills, but whether this insignificant variation deserves nomenclatural recognition
remains to be substantiated by more adequate material.
Geothlypis rostrata tanneri Ridgway: Closely similar to G. r. rostrata, but
1
adult males with crown more greenish (less suffused with grayish) superciliary ;
streak decidedly yellow; back and flanks more brownish (less greenish) olive.
In this form again two color types exist, the one with duller upper parts, paler
yellow lower surface, and buffy grayish brown flanks (G. incompta) corresponding
to "G. rostrata" in the New Providence population, considered to represent the
first annual plumage.
Birds from Great Bahama seem to be exactly like those from Abaco.
Geothlypis rostrata coryi Ridgway: Nearest to G. r. tanneri, but even more

2
brightly colored; crown decidedly yellowish green without any trace of gray;
superciliary streak bright yellow; back fresh yellowish green; flanks greenish
yellow (as in "G. maynardi"),
That the dull-colored, buff-bellied stage has not yet been found on Eleuthera
is very likely due to the fact that so few specimens from that island exist in
collections.

Sylvia cucullata Latham (Ind. Orn., 2, p. 528, 1790), based on a specimen

unidentifiable. The description,
"S. virens subtus flava, fronte genisque nigris, cauda cuneiformi," might apply
with equal certainty to G. a. aequinoctialis or some other species of the genus.
The case being still further obscured by the absence of any locality, it appears
preferable to adhere to the subspecific name velata, the type of which exists, rather
than revive a term of questionable pertinence, inasmuch as Latham makes no
reference to the gray crown that is so conspicuous a feature in both velata and
aequinoctialis.

1 am unable to appreciate any local variation of sufficient constancy to justify
further subdivision of this form. Two adult males from the Urubamba Valley,
Peru, appear to me indistinguishable from various individuals picked at random
from among a good Brazilian series. Even the alleged differences in size (smaller
bill and longer tail) do not hold. The type of G. c. assimilis, from Chirimoto,
as claimed by the describers, has the gray cap indeed more restricted, though it
is closely approached in that respect by one or two males from eastern Brazil.
Whether the race of the Huayabamba Valley merits recognition remains, of course,
to be determined by an adequate series. It may be added, however, that, the
Chirimoto bird being designated as type in the original description, Messrs.
Sztolcman and Domaniewski had no right to select as such a specimen from
Santa Ana in the Warsaw Museum.

Although the "Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum" lists an adult
male from Esmeraldas as type, both in the original description and the "Catalogue
of a Collection of American Birds" the type is stated by Sclater to be from
Babahoyo. There can be little doubt, I believe, that spec, e, Babahoyo, is the
actual type, the only specimen obtained at that place by Fraser.

Two specimens from Cali, Colombia, seem to agree with an Ecuadorian

Geothlypis semiflava bairdi Nutting: Differs from the typical race by deeper
coloration, the upper parts being dark citrine rather than citrine, while the under
surface is less purely yellow with more extensive olivaceous shading on chest and
sides. The wings are slightly shorter (55-59 against 58-62), and the bill generally
rather stouter.

Geothlypis nelson! nelsoni Richmond. 2 HOODED YELLOW-

THROAT.
1
Geothlypis speciosa Sclater, while not unlike G. s. bairdi in general appearance,
differs nevertheless
very markedly by much smaller bill with nearly blackish lower
mandible; more brownish (near orange citrine) upper parts with brownish gray
apical margins to the dorsal feathers; deeper yellow lower surface; strong brownish
buff suffusion on breast and sides, etc.
Very little is on record concerning its range. The typical examples were
collected by de Saussure, while Sumichrast refers to a specimen from near Orizaba
Bptteri's collection. The adult male (in fresh plumage) in Field Museum was
in
obtained by W. W. Brown at San Mateo, presumably in the mountains of Vera
Cruz.

This species, autoptically unknown to the writer, is stated by the late W. De
W. Miller to share the proportion of the tail with the group separated by Ridgway
under the generic name Chamaethlypis.

Birds from the plateau region of Costa Rica (San Jose) verge slightly in the
direction of C. p. ridgwayi, but the variation is not constant enough to justify the
retention of a separate form (icterotis Ridgway). According to Griscom (I.e.), speci-
mens from the Atlantic slope of Guatemala are intermediate to C. p. palpebralis,
and our couple from Lake Amatitlan have indeed traces of white on the lower eyelid.

This supposed resident form is said to be distinguished from the American
Redstart by brighter colors and smaller size, as well as by different notes and eggs.
I have not been able to verify the characters in coloration or size, and the state-
ment of its breeding on the island of Dominica is so extraordinary that it cannot
be accepted without further evidence. The numerous specimens from the West
Indies and South America examined in the present connection are absolutely
identical with North American birds, and were doubtless migrants from the North.

A series from Vera Cruz (Jalapa) examined.
2
Myioborus miniatus intermedius (Hartlaub), though nearly allied to the typical
race, differs nevertheless by shorter tail, less extensive white apical areas on
the lateral rectrices, and less vermilion (grenadine red to scarlet) under parts.
Wing, 60-65; tail, 58-64.
Through the courtesy of the authorities of the Bremen Museum I have been
enabled to examine the type of S. intermedia. The specimen, an unsexed adult,
which, by reason of the predominating slaty color on head and throat, I take
to be a female, is so badly faded through exposure to light that the original colora-
tion of the under parts cannot even be guessed. In proportions (wing, 61; tail,
63) it agrees, however, so perfectly with a series from Alta Vera Paz that I cannot
but refer it to the Atlantic form, which thus becomes M. m. intermedius, Hartlaub's
name having undoubted priority over Kaup's. The type of S. flammea, an
unsexed bird, is labeled: "J. Bates, Guatemala. Sept. 1843." Mr. Kinnear, who,
on my request, compared it with the material in the British Museum, reports
that in color it cannot be separated from certain western Guatemalan examples,
notably one from Duenas. However, the measurements (wing, 60; tail, 63)
place it decidedly with the Atlantic form, whereas color characters between the
two Guatemalan races are not absolutely constant.
Additional material examined. Guatemala: Finca Sepacuite, 7; La Montanita,
1; Barrillos, 2; La Perla, 2; Coban, 7; unspecified, 1 (the type of S. intermedia).

more orange, their color varying from orange chrome to flame scarlet. Wing,
66-70, (female) 63-65; tail, 67-72, (female) 65-68.
On comparison with a series from the Atlantic slope, the larger size and
the longer tail of the inhabitants of the Pacific Cordillera are quite noticeable.
Besides, the under parts in western birds are decidedly more orange, although
single individuals, e.g. our Tecpam specimen, hardly differ on this score from
certain exceptionally light-bellied east Guatemalan examples. With the material
at hand I am not prepared to separate the west Guatemalan form from M . TO.
connectens, since two birds from the Volcan de Puca, Honduras, have the under
parts of exactly the same orange chrome tone as various light-bellied individuals
from San Lucas, Panajachel, etc. It is, of course, quite possible that true connectens,
from El Salvador, may reach a paler "extreme" (bittersweet orange), but this can
only be determined by the study of adequate series. M. m. connectens forms a
highly interesting connecting link to the heretofore specifically separated M m.

Myioborus miniatus pallidiventris (Chapman) Very similar to M. m. verti-
:
calis, but under parts on average paler yellow, and white apical area to lateral
rectrices less extensive.
On going again over a considerable amount of material I cannot but agree
with Dr. Chapman that the lesser extent of white in the tail serves to distinguish
this form, when compared with a series from southern Peru and Bolivia. The
intensity of coloration underneath is subject to much individual variation. While
nine skins from the mountains inland of Cumana and twenty from the Caracas
region undeniably are of a clearer as well as more uniform yellow than those from
any other locality, similar individuals may likewise be encountered in other
parts of the range, although the majority are more richly colored with a more
or less pronounced ochraceous wash on the chest. The last-named feature is most
strongly developed in specimens from western Colombia, some of them being quite
as dark as M. m. acceptus from Chiriqui. Birds from Carabobo (Cumbre de
Valencia) are exactly intermediate between those of northeastern Venezuela and
those of Colombia, while Merida specimens agree with the latter. Western
Ecuadorean examples are again rather pale below and, furthermore, have less
black on the forehead and sides of the crown.

distinguished by having the loral and auricular region deep yellow instead of
white, and the yellow color on the upper part of the head restricted to the fore-
crown, leaving the posterior portion blackish like the hind neck. The yellow color
on the head and under parts is generally of a richer tone.

Rather a poor race, whose only constant character consists of the paler
yellow under parts, although certain Peruvian individuals are very nearly as
light-bellied as Bolivian birds. I find much individual variation in the extent
of the yellow markings on the front and sides of the head, and while the white
area on the lateral tail feathers, especially on the third pair, is, as a rule, more
extended in Bolivian specimens, some from Peru, including one from Chachapoyas,
have just as much white in the tail.

Myioborus ruficoronatus (Kaup) is a very little-known form, of which but a
few specimens have been recorded. Aside from its larger size, it differs from M. m.
bairdi principally by the absence of black on the anterior crown, the forehead
being bright yellow like the orbicular region. There is but a short black lateral
border to the amber-brown crown, much narrower than in M
m. bairdi and not
.
reaching the eye, while the black loral spot is barely suggested by an obsolete
dusky streak. Dr. Chapman mentions various specimens of M. m. bairdi (from
eastern Ecuador) as approaching M
ruficoronatus in the coloration of the forehead,
.
yet both species are listed by him from Oyacachi. Under these circumstances the
proper understanding of their relationship seems to require further investigation.
Material examined. Ecuador: Oyacachi, 1; unspecified, 1.

Myioborus albifrons (Sclater and Salvin) Most nearly related to M. melano-
:
cephalus bairdi, but frontal edge, lores, and orbital ring pure white instead of yellow,
and rufous crown feathers tipped with black. Size about the same.
The yellow of the under parts varies much the same as in M. m. bairdi, with
which M. albifrons may ultimately prove to be conspecific, although the characters
given above serve to distinguish it at a glance.

Myioborus flavivertex (Salvin) Most nearly, and possibly subspecifically,
:
related to M. albifrons, but readily distinguished by having the crown lemon

yellow instead of light rufous; the back olivaceous green instead of slate gray,
with the edges to the remiges more olivaceous, less slaty; the throat and chest
tinged with ochraceous, etc.
No material is at present available, but the specimens examined several
years ago in the collection of the Carnegie Museum appeared to me well differenti-
ated from M. albifrons, although the two birds may ultimately prove to be
conspecific.

1
A very poor genus which had better be united to Basileuterus.
1
This race is of very doubtful validity, since I am unable to appreciate any
of its supposed characters in the two specimens (both from Jalisco) before me.
Van Rossem (I.e.) believes its separation to be due to post mortem change of the
original specimens. Without a good series of fresh skins the problem cannot be
satisfactorily solved.
3
The evidence produced by Zimmer (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. Ser., 16,
pp. 68, 122, 1926) seems to give priority to Bonaparte's name, unless the advance
sheets of the "Museum Heineanum," that were in circulation long before the
actual issue of the work, be considered as constituting publication. Both Bona-
parte's and Cabanis's descriptions were based on the very same specimen from
Lagunas, Mexico, in the Berlin Museum.

Basileuterus Cabanis (Arch. Naturg., 13, (1), p. 316, 1847) is a nomen nudum.
2
Cabanis, in creating the generic division Basileuterus, evidently intended to
base it upon Azara's "Contramaestre coronado," for he states that the members
of his new genus differ from Myiodioctes Audubon [=Wilsonia Bonaparte] by
basally wider bill and less pointed wings characters which correspond very well
indeed to the warblers of the group known as Basileuterus, but cannot by any
means be applied to Helmitheros vermivorus (Gmelin). The fact of his having
misapplied the specific name of Vieillot, who, moreover, was not its original author,
appears to me of little importance in the face of his unmistakable generic diagnosis.
Besides, Cabanis was well aware of the wide distinction between the "Contra-
maestre coronado" and the Worm-eating Warbler of North America, confused
under one heading by Vieillot.

concur with Mr. Zimmer (Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool.
1 fully Ser., 17, p.
429, 1930) that Myiothlypis is not properly separable.
*
While admitting that this subdivision differs by certain structural characters
from the other members of the genus, B. fulvicauda is, in other respects, so closely
related to B. rivularis, that generic separation would only serve to obscure their
natural affinities.

Basileuterus nigro-cristatus euophrys Sclater and Salvin: Similar in proportions
to B. n. nigrivertex, but easily distinguished by the brighter yellow superciliaries
being carried backward to above the posterior margin of the auriculars; by the
greater extent of blackish on the sides of the head, not only the lores, but also the
region surrounding the eye being of that color; by having only the anterior part
of the crown dull black without a conspicuous occipital crest; much duller, citrine
rather than warbler green dorsal surface, and decidedly paler yellow under parts.

and under parts, duller greenish upper surface, and very little dusky greenish
admixture on the forehead, but these divergencies are probably due to immaturity,
since both Chapman and Todd pronounce other Ecuadorian examples to be iden-

Basileuterus luteoviridis superciliaris Similar to, and agreeing with,
Chapman:
B. I. striatieeps in development of superciliaries, which are perhaps of an even
deeper yellow tone; but dorsal surface and external margins to wing feathers
decidedly more brownish (between citrine and orange citrine), and without any
blackish on the sides of the head, the loral spot as well as the orbital region being
brownish citrine like the back instead of dark olive gray or iron gray. Wing
(male), 70; tail, 69-70.
Although disregarded by Mr. Todd, this form seems to be recognizable by
the characters given above, judged from two specimens available for comparison.

A species of doubtful affinities. In size, B. richardsoni agrees well with B.
luteoviridis, and like the various races of that group inhabits the Temperate zone.
By its dull greenish upper parts and yellowish feet it recalls B. s. signatus, but
differs by larger size, cream-colored superciliaries, and much paler yellow under
parts. According to Chapman, the range of B. richardsoni overlaps that of B. L
luteoviridis in the central Andes of Colombia. Unfortunately, the Laguneta
specimen, which would seem to approach the latter "species" by brighter yellow
ventral surface and yellowish-tinged superciliaries, cannot now be found. I must
confess I am not quite convinced of the distinctness of B. richardsoni, though I
cannot offer any plausible explanation of its peculiarities. The pale, dull coloration
of the specimens that I have been able to examine cannot be solely due to the worn
condition of their plumage, yet I hesitate to admit the probability that two so
closely allied "species" could coexist in the same mountain range. More material
from the western and central Andes is badly needed for the solution of this puzzling
problem.
Material examined. Colombia: Andes west of Popayan, 3.

Basileuterus signatus signatus Berlepsch and Stolzmann: Similar to B. luteo-
viridis striaticeps, but much smaller; upper parts decidedly duller (olive citrine
to dark citrine) yellow superciliaries narrower and shorter (not reaching beyond
;
the eye); dusky loral spot less conspicuous; no blackish orbital ring; yellow of
under parts generally paler; feet yellowish flesh color instead of horn brown. Wing,
(male) 62-65, (female) 57-61; tail, 61-65, (female) 55-59; bill, 10^-12.
In spite of its superficial resemblance, this bird, as has been pointed out by
Todd, appears to be specifically distinct from B. luteoviridis. While chiefly
restricted to lower altitudes than the races of B. luteoviridis, which are found exclu-
sively in the Temperate zone, we have examined typical examples of both B. 8.
signatus andB. I. striaticeps collected by H. Watkins in March, 1922, at Rumicruz
(alt. 9,700 ft.), Dept. Junin. An adult male from Garita del Sol, Vitoc identified
as striaticeps by Berlepsch and Stolzmann also proves to pertain to B. s. signatus.

Inall of the six copies of the "Nouveau Dictionnaire" consulted the specific
name spelled leucoblephara, while, according to Wetmore (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus.,
is
133, p. 369, 1926), it reads leucoblepharides in the set seen by him. This discrepancy
seems to indicate the existence of two different versions as in the case of
Meleagris silvestris Vieillot (I.e., 9, p. 447, 1817), later replaced by Meleagris fera
on a substitute leaf.

Examination of much additional material leads me to concur with Mr.
Todd in suppressing the eastern race, B. L superciliosus, which I at one time
proposed to separate on account of smaller size and certain color differences. Not
one of the latter holds in the large series now available, and while there is a certain
tendency to greater dimensions in birds from Argentina, Paraguay, and Rio Grande
do Sul, the variation is altogether too insignificant to be expressed in nomen-
clature. The length of the wing in adult males from these districts ranges from
64 to 70, whereas in those from Rio de Janeiro to Parana it varies from 61 to 67.

Birds from Argentina are identical with the Bolivian ones, varying within
the same limits as to the tone of the upper and under parts and the amount of
yellow in the median coronal stripe. There is at least some yellow at the base of
the crown feathers, while in others this basal area is quite extensive, being followed
by a dull orange (mars yellow) zone and tipped with dull citrine.
Four specimens from southeastern Peru (Rio Inambari, Callanga, Huay-
napata) are slightly aberrant. The pale yellow supraloral streak is shorter, ending,
as it does, at the anterior angle instead of reaching to above the middle of the eye;
the lateral crown stripes are more deeply black, in particular posteriorly, with

in tone, xanthine orange rather than mars yellow, and one specimen, a male from
Huaynapata, has no trace of yellow at the base (very much as in B. b. roraimae).
Mr. Todd has referred this bird as well as another male from Callanga to B. c.
chrysogaster, but in view of their large size (wing, 66 M
68; tail, 59, 61), greenish
postocular stripe, light yellow under parts, and other characters, I cannot possibly
agree to this identification. While more adequate series are required to ascertain
whether these Peruvian birds are separable or not, their pertinence to B. bivittatus
appears to me beyond question.

more brownish hue (dark citrine rather than dull warbler green to citrine); the
median coronal stripe wholly xanthine orange or orange rufous without any

It is with considerable reluctance that I follow Mr. Todd in according this
form specific rank, and if I do so, it is merely because B, c. chrysogaster and B. b.
bivittatus have both been found in the same section of the Tropical zone of south-
eastern Peru. I am, however, not yet convinced that they actually breed side by
side in that region, and would recommend the problem to further field work.
The total number of specimens of B, c. chrysogaster preserved in collections, more-
over, is very small, and it is hardly possible at the present time to indicate, with
any degree of finality, the limits of its variation. The type of S. chrysogaster,
although in exceedingly poor condition, is undoubtedly identical with a topotypical
example of B. diachlorus.

edges, and the under surface duller yellow with the greenish suffusion on the sides
more extensive and encroaching on the chest. Besides, the supraloral and super-

ciliary stripe is by no means yellow, but greenish (citrine) like the auriculars.
The median coronal patch, of the same restricted extent as in B. c. chrysogaster,
shows, independent of sex, two color types, being either wholly dull orange (mars
yellow) down to the base as in B. c. chrysogaster, or pure golden yellow, in either
case with dull citrine tips to the feathers. The yellow-crowned variety, however,
is much less common, since out of a total of sixteen only four specimens pertain to
it. Wing, 62-66, (female) 58-62; tail, 51-56, (female) 48-51; bill, 10-11.
While differing from both B. c. chrysogaster and B. b. bivittatus by the dimor-
phism in the coloration of the coronal stripe, this form reverts to the characters of
the latter in having the postocular part of the superciliary region greenish, and
throws once more serious doubts on the specific distinctness of these groups.
Additional material examined. Ecuador, Prov. Imbabura: Lita (alt. 3,000 ft.),
5; Cachyjacu (alt. 3,200 ft.), 1; Paramba (alt. 3,500 ft.), 9; "Quito," 1 (the type).

(I.e., suggested Lita, Prov. Imbabura, as type locality, but the region above

Santo Domingo de los Coronados, frequently visited by native hunters, is a more
likely place of origin.
2
Basileuterus basilicus (Todd), while resembling B. tristriatus in general style
of coloration, differs so strikingly by proportionately much longer tail, larger bill,
and much longer tarsi and toes that I am inclined to accord it specific rank. The
upper parts are much the same as inB. t. tristriatus, though the back is of a brighter,
fresher green (citrine rather than dark citrine), and the median coronal stripe
is grayish white, anteriorly only suffused or edged with pale (citron) yellow;
the supereiliaries, the freckling below the eye, and the margin to the black auricular
patch are white instead of buffy; the throat clearer white; the remainder of the
under surface much deeper yellow (lemon chrome). The buffy superciliaries and
markings on the sides of the head in the immature plumage betray, however, the
close genetic relationship to the B. tristriatus group. Wing (males), 67-69; tail,
64-67; tars., 22-24; bill, 12-13.

1
Basileuterus tristriatus tacarcunae Chapman: Differs from its geographical
neighbors, B. f. daedalus and B. t. auricularis, by lacking the blackish antorbital
spot, and by olivaceous (ecru olive) instead of wholly or partly black auriculars, and
much more orange (yellow ocher) coronal stripe; under parts about the same
as in B. t. daedalus. In the absence of black markings in the loral and auricular
regions the present form resembles B. t. meridantis, from which it is, however,
easily separated by decidedly orange coronal stripe, brighter green back, and
more yellowish, less buffy under parts. Its nearest ally is undoubtedly B. t.
daedalus, in which the blackish auricular patch frequently is reduced in extent
or even replaced by a dark olivaceous area. From B. t. chitrensis, of Veragua,
it may be distinguished, in addition to the olivaceous (instead of largely blackish)
auricular patch, by more orange (less buffy) coronal stripe, decidedly olivaceous
(instead of buffy grayish) superciliaries, and bright green upper parts. Wing,
63-65, (female) 59-60.
Material examined. Panama: Mount Tacarcuna, 4.
2
Basileuterus tristriatus daedalus Bangs: Exceedingly close to B. t. auricularis,
but perhaps separable by having the under parts on average slightly paler, more
buffy and less yellowish.
It is with considerable reluctance that we admit this form. Compared with
a series from the east Colombian Andes, western birds are frequently duller, less
yellowish underneath, but so many are indistinguishable that the propriety of
maintaining two races may well be questioned.

from the extreme northwest (Chaupe) seem to be indistinguishable from others
taken in the Urubamba region. While the bright yellow under surface usually
serves to separate this form, occasional individuals, such as two from Chinchao,
are hardly brighter underneath than certain dark-bellied examples of B. t. baezae.

There is much individual variation, as far as the coloration of the light crown
stripe is concerned, and even the characters given above are by no means
thoroughly constant. Certain specimens of B. t. auricularis, from "Bogota,"
have the chest just as distinctly freckled with olive, while some from Bolivia are
practically plain-breasted like B. t. tristriatus. Two birds from extreme south-

Basileuterus trifasciatus trifasciatus Taczanowski, in spite of its superficial
resemblance, appears to be specifically distinct from B. tristriatus. Compared
with a series of the typical Peruvian form, it differs by smaller size, much smaller,
shorter bill; light grayish olive median crown stripe with little lemon yellow
suffusion at the concealed bases of the anterior feathers; much narrower, dusky
rather than deep black lateral borders; grayish forehead; smoke gray (not olive
buff), also less pronounced superciliaries; smoke gray sides of the head with
only a dusky postocular streak; absence of the black antorbicular spot; dull
grayish (roman) green upper back, passing into warbler green on rump and tail
coverts (instead of uniform dark citrine); lighter, warbler green rather than
citrine edges to wings and tail; nearly white under wing coverts. Wing (male),

Basileuterus hypoleucus Bonaparte differs from B. c. auricapillus by having
the under parts dingy white, frequently with a grayish tinge across chest and
on sides of breast instead of uniform bright lemon chrome. However, certain
specimens, such as one from Goyaz (Rio Thesouras) and one from Sao Paulo
(Ypanema), have the median portion of the under parts flammulated or washed
with pale yellow, betraying close affinity to auricapillus. A similar example from
western Paraguay (Puerto Pinasco) has been recorded by Wetmore (I.e.). Al-
though hypoleucus and auricapillus have yet to be taken at exactly the same
localities, their ranges in general seem to overlap to a certain extent, both having
been obtained in Matto Grossp, Sao Paulo, and Paraguay. Still, the intermediate
character of the birds mentioned above casts serious doubt on their specific
distinctness, and makes the desirability of further information on their breeding
ranges strongly felt.

The specimen bears a Swainsonian label with the inscription: "Setophaga
auricapilla Sw.Sale 1834. Brazil." The Museum label reads: "E Mus. Acad.
Cantabrigiae. Swainson Collection. B. vermivorus." The habitat "Mexico"
undoubtedly refers to B. c. culicivorus, of which Swainson might have seen a
specimen believed to be identical with the Brazilian bird, but his description,
notably the passage "above olive green," clearly applies to the latter. The type
agrees with examples from Paraguay and Espirito Santo (Engenheiro Reeve)
in the British Museum, the back being indeed dark citrine. Todd (Proc. U. S.
Nat. Mus., 74, art. 7, p. 68, 1929) suggests Rio de Janeiro as an appropriate type
locality.

the dusky crown stripes.

1 have no hesitation in associating B. cabanisi in the same specific group
with auricapillus and culicivorus, its color characters being just intermediate
between the South American and Central American representatives.
Birds from MSrida agree with those from the Venezuelan north coast. A

Cauca, Colombia, differ by having the median coronal spot much more strongly
tinged with orange (or mars yellow), though a few M6rida skins are similar.

spot usually lemon yellow, with little or no mars yellow." (Todd, I.e.). I am
unable to substantiate this character in the series at hand, which is admittedly
rather unsatisfactory, consisting as it does mostly of females and unsexed speci-
mens. I notice, however, that even certain males from Me'rida have the coronal
spot plain lemon yellow down to the base of the feathers, and cannot be told in
any way from Santa Marta birds. Mr. Todd, however, who had the advantage
of studying much larger series, admits the form as valid.

The segregationof the two Central American races presents unusual dif-
ficultiesowing to the intermediacy of most of the Costa Rican population of this
warbler, and it is really a matter of personal opinion where the demarcation line
between godmani and culicivorus should be drawn. As remarked by Mr. Todd,
many specimens from Caribbean and southern Costa Rica (Te>raba Valley) are in-
distinguishable from Chiriqui birds, while others can hardly be separated from
the Mexican form. However, taken as a whole the series from Costa Rica, excepting
the inhabitants of Guanacaste, seem better referred to B. c. godmani. Specimens
from Santa Maria de Dota and El General, listed by Todd under B. c. culicivorus,
I would unhesitatingly place with godmani, such a disposition being in accordance
with the geographical distribution of the two races as outlined by this author.
Forty-five specimens from Costa Rica and five from Chiriqui examined.

Birds from the southern part of the range (Nicaragua and Costa Rica),
as a rule, have the median coronal stripe more suffused with orange, but this is-
at best an average character and hardly constant enough for recognition in nomen-
clature. This is also the opinion of Mr. Todd, who had much more compre-
hensive material at his command than I have been able to examine.

from western and eastern Mexico is too insignificant for the formal recognition of

Basileuterus rufifrons caudatus Nelson is characterized by Todd as exceedingly

1
closetoB. r. dugesi, but still duller (near citrine drab) on the upper, and averaging
paler on the lower parts. The supposedly longer tail turns out to be imaginary.
We are not acquainted with this race.
1
Basileuterus (rufifrons?} salvini (Cherrie): Very similar toB. r. rufifrons, but
with the yellow of the breast more extended abdominally, often covering the entire
belly, with a buffy wash on the flanks and crissum.
This much disputed yellow-bellied bird, though superficially resembling
B. delattrii, seems to be a representative form of 5. rufifrons. Mr. Griscom recently
even pleaded its specific distinctness, basing it on the fact of B. r. rufifrons having
likewise been met with in the Coban district of Guatemala. With only one speci-
men at hand, we are not in a position to throw any light on the problem, though
the occurrence of a third "species" in Guatemala would seem to be extremely
unlikely, and we would recommend the subject for further investigation.

Basileuterus cinereicollis, while nearly allied to B. coronatus, differs rather
markedly from that species by much less extensive, mainly lemon chrome coronal
area with less sharply defined blackish lateral stripes, by lacking the blackish
transocular streak, and by some minor details. It may be merely a strongly marked
race, but its distribution is so imperfectly known that further speculation as to
its relationship seems futile. While both B. c. cinereicollis and B. coronatus regulus
inhabit the eastern Andes of Colombia, they have yet to be taken in the same
localities.

I do not understand how the
late R. B. Sharpe (Hand List Bds., 5, p. 123,
1909) could ever credit me with the statement that B. conspicillatus and. cinerei-
collis were the same. As early as 1906 I had compared a series from Santa Marta
with the material of B. cinereicollis in the British Museum, and duly noted the
differences between the two races, the memorandum made at that time being
still in my possession.

Birds from various parts of Peru, while subject to some individual variation,
appear to me to pertain to one and the same form. The type, although slightly
faded through long exposure to light, agrees in size and coloration with specimens
from Junin (Utcuyacu, Chelpes). Certain individuals from northeastern Peru,
in some details, resemble the west-Ecuadorian race (B. c. elatus), to which they
have actually been referred by Mr. Todd, but taken as a whole the inhabitants of
that region seem to be nearer to typical coronatus, inasmuch as other examples
are practically indistinguishable from Junin birds, while not one is exactly like the
Ecuadorian form. Specimens from extreme southeastern Peru (San Miguel,
Urubamba; Huaynapata), by more purely olive green upper parts, closely approach
B. c. notius, but they are larger and of a clearer yellow below. Very similar examples
occur, however, in other parts of Peru.

Basileuterus castaneiceps is probably conspecific with B. coronatus, such
relationship being suggested by the intermediate characters of B. castaneiceps
orientalis. The two groups seem to replace each other geographically. B. coronatus
elatus inhabits western Ecuador north of the Rio Chimbo, while south of that line
B. c. castaneiceps is found. In Peru, the upper Maranon Valley apparently separates
the ranges of B. castaneiceps chapmani and B. coronatus coronatus, the former
occupying the eastern slope of the western Cordillera, the latter the western slope
of the central Cordillera, whereas B. castaneiceps castaneiceps extends down to the
western side of the western Cordillera.

There does not seem to be any local variation in this form. The few topo-
typical Bahia skins before us, while rather dark, on chest and sides, can be exactly
matched by others from more southern localities. The late J. Sztolcman incon-
ceivably referred a series from Parana to B. leucophrys, but noticing several striking
discrepancies between his birds and Pelzeln's description tentatively proposed
for them the name B. m. guayrae without mentioning B. rivularis, with which his
alleged novelty obviously identical.

Basileuterus rivularis bolivianus Sharpe: Very nearly related toB. r. rivularis,
but pileum uniform neutral gray without white basal spots on the forehead and
blackish lateral crown stripes; superciliaries narrower and more decidedly buffy;
no distinct dusky patch in the upper auricular region, etc. Wing, 66-69, (female)
64; tail, 55-57, (female) 52; bill, 11-12.
The type differs from the other specimens examined by more rufescent throat,
but its poor state of preservation is prohibitive of final conclusion as to the signi-
ficance of this slight variation.
Material examined. Bolivia: Yuyo, 1 (the type); Juntas, 2; San Mateo, 1.

Although Mr. Todd has recently endorsed its validity, I am unable to discover
any constant character whereby to separate the supposed southern race poliothrix,
individual variation being unusually great. Of two topotypes from the Chancha-
mayo Valley, only one (the type) has the basal part of the tail and the upper tail
coverts a slight shade paler buffy and the back faintly more olivaceous than
specimens from eastern Ecuador and Brazil, whereas the second example is much
more deeply colored on the rump as well as on the under parts, thereby closely
approaching certain individuals of B, f. semicervinus. There is, of course, the
possibility that birds from Chanchamayo and the adjacent districts may be
inter-grades to B. f. annexus, and that a slightly differentiated form has devel-
oped in southeastern Peru, whose inhabitants appear to be more constant in their
characters. It is well to note, however, that an adult from Calama, Rio Madeira,
can hardly be distinguished from the dark-colored Chanchamayo bird, suggesting
the individual rather than geographic nature of the variation.

Birds from Colombia, including a number of Bogota skins, appear to me
inseparable from Ecuadorian specimens, and I do not see how a Magdalena
Valley form can be separated, if those from Bogota are representative of it. Speci-
mens from Darien, eastern Panama, which we have not seen, are stated by Todd
to be typical of semicervinus.

This is rather a variable form connecting the Central American leucopygius
with semicervinus. Certain individuals without brownish mottling underneath
look much like the South American race, though they still differ by more brownish
(less olivaceous) back and less decidedly buffy sides of the head. Such specimens,
which are not rare along the Panama Railroad line, have given rise to reports
of semicervinus occurring in that district, and have even induced Mr. Griscom to
redescribe the present form as B. f. toddi.

The three specimens from the Rio CaloveVora, Veragua, forming the basis
of B. /. gaffneyi, have the chest and flanks more heavily washed with dusky, the
tone of these markings being at the same time dark grayish olive rather than
brownish; but in view of the great individual variation observable in leucopygius
and veraguensis more material is needed for sustaining its claims to recognition.
Fifteen specimens from Costa Rica and three from Veragua (Rio Calove'vora)
have been examined.
