One female, which cannot be properly identified at present. It lias no 

 white tufts on sides of head. 



Cassidix oiyzivora (Gmelin). 

 Two males. 



Buarremon basilicus sp. nov. 



Type (and only specimen), from Pueblo Viejo, Colombia. No. 5598, 

 cf adult, coll. of E. A. and 0. Bangs. Collected Mar. 21, 1898, by W. W. 

 Brown, Jr. Altitude 8000 ft, 



Specific characters. — Nearly related to B. torquatus (d'Orb. £ Lafr.) from 

 Bolivia, but differing from that species in gray instead of white super- 

 ciliary stripe; in reddisb olive instead of olive green back, rump, wing- 

 coverts, edges of tail, wing feathers, tail-coverts and sides of body; in 

 pale fawn-color instead of white breast and center of belly ; in wider 

 1 ilack band across chest ; and in larger bill. 



Size. — cf adult: wing, 81.2; tail, 78.8; exposed culmen, 17.4. 



Remarks. — This new species is probably nearly related to B. poliophri/s 

 (Berl. and Stolz.), which has the same slate-gray superciliary stripe. B. 

 poliophrys is said to be otherwise like B. torquatus, while the Pueblo Viejo 

 bird has a larger bill and many differences in color.
