1 73. Nyctidromus albicollis (Gm. ). 

 ('himl)o. 



174. Campephilus haematogaster (Tscli.). 



Cachavi, 5ii(i fVet. ? . " Iris brown ; leet jiTi-yisli brown ; liill bluckihh." This 

 specimen is evidrntly iuimatnre, us the under pai'ts are not very red. Its foreneck 

 is entirely black, but the bars across the wings are as yellow as they are in ('. 

 splimdimif. I have no donbt that the " white "" bai's on the wings, as described by 

 Haruitt and others, are faded. The wings of this female of ( '. kaetyiafoi/aster 

 measure 175, the cnlmeu only 42 mm., while Harsritt gives it {('at. B. XVIII. p. 470) 

 much larger. 



There is in Mr. Rothschild's Museum an evidently very adult iiwli', which, 

 according to Hargitt, would belong to ('. haematofidslcr, &\l]iong\\ I cannot see the 

 foreneck, owing to its peculiar preparation. It has been selected from a large 

 collection of Bogota skins. Its cnlmen is 67 mm. hnig, wing 104. Tiie wing-bars 

 are yellowish white, but not pnre white. 



175. Campephilus splendens Harg. 



Two 7nales sent by Mr. Rosenberg's correspondents from Paramba, 3500 feet, 

 belong undoubtedly to this species, for the foreneck is crimson and the posterior 

 malar feathers tipped with crimson. "Iris rufous; feet brownish grey; bill 

 blackish." Wings 175 — 183, culmeu 45 — 50 mm. 



The distribution of C. hnemntogaster and splendens seems pu/./.ling, for Ha)'gitt 

 gives for the former " Colombia (Bogota), Ecuador (Rosario), south into Central 

 Pern," for the latter " Antioquia, north into Veragua." This would seem to 

 indiciate a more westerly distribution for < '. splendens, a moi'e easterly for 

 haematogaster ', but now we have splendens from Paramba, and haematogaster 

 from Cachavi, which has a decidedly western fauna. 



170. Dendrobates callonotus (Waterh.). 

 Chimbo, lOoo feet. " Bill white ; iris brown ; feet grey." 



177. Picumnus granadensis (i'snbsp. ). 



i, Chimbo. (Cf. P. Z. -b'. Is8;i. ]). 570.) 



Another young liird from Chimbo seems to belong to P. sclateri. 



178. Urospatha martii semirufa (Scl.). 



<'liirabo, 500 feet; I'aramba, :!5nii feet; and Cachavi, 5iiii feet. The two 

 from Cachavi are apjiarently a little lighter on the hiudueck. Iris brown, in young 

 ones greyish brown. Local name " Marucha." 



170. Prionirhynchus platyi'hynchus (Leadb.) 



One male, Paramba. " Iris dark brown ; feet and bill black." I tinil, in 

 comparing this bird with specimens from Central America, that they belong to 

 two very different subspecies. }romotus platyrhgnchus has originally been described
