CRYPTURUS. 455 
In the birds from Brazil, Amazonia, Ecuador, and Colombia, from all of which 
countries we have specimens before us, the general colour is browner, and less rufous 
on the under surface; the flank-feathers which overhang the tail are brown or rufous- 
brown, but never so chestnut as in C. meserythrus or C. sout ; the head is light ashy- 
brown, and the front of the neck is brownish and lighter than in C. meserythrus. 
The third form, C. meserythrus, which is Central-American, is again different, being 
very rufous below, and having the flank-feathers overhangiug the tail deep chestnut, 
in this character resembling C. sowi, but differing in the ashy-brown tint of the chest. 
Birds from Chiriqui are very dark in colour, and Mr. Bangs describes his series from 
Divala as extreme examples of this race, with dark greyish throat and a conspicuous.
