104 Bangs On Some Birch from S<ntf<i Maria, Colombia. 



account of them that must be corrected. The type, adult male, is all right, 

 and is so different from A. coniroslris &s to deserve full specific rank. The 

 two females that I included under the same name, however, prove not to 

 belong to this species at all, but are so close to examples of A. vejiezuelensis 

 Ridgway, that Mr. Ridgway does not consider them even subspecifically 

 separable. Thus another species should be added to the fauna of the 

 Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 



Arremonops venezuelensis Ridgw. 



Two females taken near Santa Marta in Jan., 1898. This is a much smaller 

 bird than A. caneus, besides being different in color. The back is pure 

 greenish olive, this color also suffusing the gray of neck and crown. A. 

 caneus has the whole head (between black stripes), neck, and upper back 

 gray, gradually shading into grayish olive on lower back and rump. 



Buariemon basilicus Bangs. 



Four specimens, three males and one female, from Chirua and San Fran 

 cisco. I founded this species upon one adult male taken at Pueblo 

 Viejo at an altitude of 8,000 feet, and the three males in the present series 

 agree with it exactly. The female is rather smaller and slightly different 

 in color, the main difference being that the olive of the back extends up 

 the crown between the two black stripes. In the males this central crown 

 stripe is gray. 



Schistochlamys atra (Gmel.). 

 Eleven specimens, both sexes, from La Concepcion and San Antonio. 



Pcecilothiaupis melanogenys Salv. and Godm. 



Twenty specimens, taken at all stations between 7,500 and 12,000 feet. 

 Of this beautiful tanager, peculiar to the Santa Marta mountains, Mr. 

 Brown had before taken but one specimen. 



Chlorophonia frontalis (Scl.). 



Ten specimens, both sexes, from Chirua, La Concepcion, and San 

 Miguel. Without specimens from Venezuela for comparison, I must let 

 the Santa Marta bird stand as C. frontalis. 



Piranga faceta Bangs. 



Four examples, one adult male and three young males, from La Concep 

 cion and ^an Miguel. The adult is in every way similar to the type, but 

 is in much more worn plumage. The young males are in a plumage sim 

 ilar to that of the adult female, except that orange red feathers are ap 

 pearing in small irregular patches both above and below,
