Five adult males from Macotama, June. 



Type, from Macotama, Colombia. No. 5G10, tf adult, coll. of E. A. and 

 O. Bangs. Collected June 17, 1898, by W. W. Brown, Jr. Altitude, 

 8000 ft. 



Specific characters. — Nearest to D. aterrima Lafr., but differing from that 

 species in having slate gray instead of black rump, upper tail-coverts 

 and flanks. 



Color. — Adult cf : Black all over except rump, upper tail-coverts and 

 flanks, which are slate gray ; feet, black ; hill— maxilla, black ; mandible, 

 black at tip, bluish horn-color at base ; ' iris hazel.' * 



She.— Adult J: Length, skin, 135 ; wing, 76; tail, 67.4; exposed cul men, 



10.8. 



Remarks. — This species is readily distinguished from D. aterrima by its 



slate gray rump, tail-coverts and flanks. It is, however, probably the 



D. aterrima of Salvin and Godman (Ibis, 1880, p. 119). 



Compsothlypis pitiayumi pacifica (Berl.). 

 Five adults, males and females, from Palomina. 



Basileuterus mesochrysus Scl. 



Six adults of both sexes, all taken at Palomina. 



Basileuterus cinereicollis Scl. 

 Three adult males from San Francisco and Palomina. 



Setophaga veiticalis Lafr and D'Orb. 

 Five adults, males and females, from San Miguel. 



Setophaga flavivertex Salv. 

 Two adults, male and female, from Macotama, June 17, 1898. 



Thryothorus laetus Bangs. 



Three specimens, adult male and female, and young in first plumage, 

 from Palomina. 



The adults are in rather worn plumage, but the male agrees exactly 

 with the type of the species from Pueblo A r iejo. Adult $, No. 5794, is 

 not so heavily spotted on the breast and abdomen as the two males ; this 

 may be due to the abraded condition of the feathers, or may be a sexual 

 character. The young example is very different, being altogether un- 

 spotted ; above it is colored much like the adults, below it is dull rufous, 



* Note by Mr. Brown from fresh specimen.
