Spefmophila (/utturalis pallida Berlp. ('(.ilombia (Bucaramauga, etc.). 



Spcrmojihila, ciutturalis olivccea Berlp. & Tacz. AV. IJcuador. 

 This last subspecies is the most distinct one, being considerably deeper in colour 

 everywliere and brigliter yellow belnw.

O.'i. Zonotrichia capensis (P. L. S. Mull.) (= pileata anct.). 

 Very common at Ibarra, Cayambe, np to 9300 feet.

(>7. Phrygilus alaudinus (Kittl.). 

 Cayambe, 9300 feet.

A very 3'oung specimen from ( 'ayambe, 9300 feet. 



09. Embernagra striaticeps chrysoma Scl. 



A large series from Cachavi, Chimbo, Paramba. The chief difference from 

 Embei'nagra striaticeps striaticeps is the lighter and more pure grey crown, the 

 greener, less olive, back, and the' lighter, more greyisli, less (not more !) olive flanks. 



TO. Ostinops alfi-edi (Des Mnrs). 



i ?, Chimbo, Ecnador, 1000 feet. These birds, evidently adalt, are above 

 rnfons brown, not brownish olive, and there arc no distinct olive edges on the 

 j)rimaries. " Iris dark brown; feet dark brown, with paler claws; bill yellow." The 

 male is considerably larger than t\\e female. Wing S 225, ? 185 mm.; tail <^ 210, 

 ¥ 160 mm. 



If the Peruvian birds can be separated from those of Ecnador, the latter must 

 be called ('. atrocastaneus Cab., but I suppose Dr. Sclater was right in uniting tliem. 

 Another pair of 0. ulfredi has been sent by Mr. Rosenberg's friends from Paramba, 

 3500 feet above the sea. 



71. Cassidix oryzivora (Gm.). 



Paramba, 3500 feet, common. " Iris brownish yellow." Chimbo, loOO feet. 

 The Cliimbo male is more bluish and a little smaller than those from Paramba. 

 Mexican birds can perhaps be separated as a subspecies, and it is possible that the 

 Chimbo bird belongs to this northern form rather than to the Andean one.
