318 . TROCHILIDA. 
Cordillera del Chucu 4, Calovevora‘, Santa Fé? (Arcé), Truando Falls (Wood ?°). 
—CoLomBIA!; PERU ®. 
A very closely allied species to P. guy of Venezuela, and perhaps not always to be 
distinguished from that bird. Adult males, however, have the bases of the rectrices 
and the upper tail-coverts distinctly tinged with blue, these feathers being green in 
the allied form. 
P. emilie was described by Bourcier and Mulsant from a specimen from Bogota, 
whence we have received many examples, probably shot in the lowlands or deeper 
valleys of the Andes. In the State of Panama near Santa Fé and elsewhere in that 
neighbourhood and in Costa Rica on the Atlantic side of the mountain-range this 
Phaethornis appears to be a common bird, but it has not been detected on the line of the 
Panama Railway, though specimens formed part of the collection made during Lieut. 
Michler’s exploring expedition to Darien. These were named P. yarugui by Cassin, 
the bird of Ecuador, but they doubtless belong here.
