of bill, and color in this series, and the long bill, great sexual difference 

 in color, and paler under parts in both sexes distinguish the birds of the 

 Santa Marta region as a good subspecies of G. ruficauda.

Subsperijir diameters. — Similar to M. wagleri of Panama, but much 

 smaller; much more white on inner tail feathers, the inner webs being 

 white to the quill, with three or four small black spots and black tips ; 

 much larger than M. negleetus, with much longer bill.

Remarks. — M. wagleri of Panama seems to be specifically distinct from 

 M. subelegans of Venezuela, the former having the crown patch contin- 

 uous red from crown to nape, while in the latter the crown patch is 

 broken by brownish between crown and nape. Unfortunately there are 

 no males of M. neglectus in the National Museum collection, but this bird 

 is so much smaller than M. sanctse-martse and has such a very short bill as 

 to lie at once distinguished from it. M. sandx-martse is a small race of 

 M. wagleri, with much more white on the inner pair of tail feathers, the 

 black markings being usually spots, not bars.
