Remarks. — On Feb. 4, 1898, Mr. Brown took a pair of this beautiful new 

 tanager, the female at 4000 ft. and the male at :!000 ft. I', faceta scarcely 

 needs comparison with any other form, its bright orange vermilion under 

 parts and small bill at once distinguishing it from P. lestacea or P. hsemalea.

lype from Santa Marta, Colombia, No. 5462, ^ adult, coll. of E. A. and 

 0. Bangs. Collected Jan. 28, 1808, by W. W. Brown, Jr. 



Subspecific characters. — Similar to true C. flavipectus of Trinidad, but 

 slightly smaller ; wing shorter ; color of throat and breast much purer, 

 deeper, more golden, less greenish yellow, being in C. canticus nearly pure 

 canary yellow. 



Size. — <$ adult, wing, 75.2; tail, 58; exposed culmen, 17. $ adult, 

 wing, 72.4; tail, 61; exposed culmen, 16.6. 



Remarks. — This is the form over which there has been so much discus- 

 sion. Count Von Berlepsch, Ibis, 1888, p. 85, first noticed the differences, 

 saying "specimens of C. flavipectus from Bogota generally show a much 

 purer and deeper golden yellow on the under parts than those from Ven- 

 ezuela and Trinidad." Santa Marta skins seem even more strongly to 

 show these differences than Bogota skins. Dr. J. A. Allen, in Bull. Am. 

 Mus., Vol. IT, p. 130, June, 1889, renamed the Trinidad bird, calling it 

 C. flavipectus trinilatis. Mr. Frank M. Chapman, when he corrected this 

 mistake in his list of Trinidad birds, Bull. Am. Mus., Vol. VI, \>. 27, l t S'.>4, 

 referred the Colombia birds to the Costa Rican form C. subflavescens, from 

 which they appear to me to be perfectly distinct.
