Carpodectes nitidus Salv. 



Five adult males ; Ceiba. This record extends the range of the species from 

 eastern Nicaragua to central, eastern Honduras. Mr. Brown took these five 

 males from one dead tree, on different occasions. He tells me he never passed 

 this tree witliout seeing one or more snow-white Cotingas sitting motionless in 

 it. No females or young males were seen. Only once did he see the species 

 elsewhere, and then but one adult male in the forest, that he was unable to get 

 within shot of. 



Thamnophilus transandeanus Scl. + 

 Thamnophilus melanocrissus Scl. 



One adult $ ;- Ceiba. This specimen is intermediate between T. transandea- 

 nus and T. melanocrissus. The under-tail coverts are tipped with white, but 

 not so broadly as in southern examples — true T. transandeanus. 



Thamnophilus naevius (Gml.). 

 One male; Ceib;i. 



Thamnophilus doliatus (Linn). 



Eight specimens, both sexes; Ceiba. These specimens of course represent 

 the so-called T. intermedius of Ridgway, but I cannot see how that bird differs 

 from true T. doliatus. The size of the bill varies much, but perhaps the bills 

 of the Central American birds average a trifle larger than in typical T. doliatus 

 from Guiana ; still individual specimens cannot be picked out by this or any 

 other^jharacter. One of my Honduras skins — a fully adult ^ — has actually 

 a smaller bill than any specimen from Guiana with which I have compared it. 



Automolus cervinigularis (Scl.). 

 Three specimens, both sexes, Yaruca. 



Dendrornis nana confinis, subsp. nov. 



Type (and only specimen) from Ceiba, Honduras, sea level, adult ^ No. 

 10,432, Coll. of E. A. and 0. Bangs, collected Jan. 24, 1902, by W. W. 

 Brown, Jr. 



Characters. — Similar to D. nana nana Lawr. of Panama and D. ruma costarv- 

 censis (Ridg.), of Costa Rica and Chiriqui, but differing from either in having 

 the throat much paler, nearly white ; the shaft-stripes on breast paler, more
