Oreotrochilus chimborazo Delattre & BouRC. — »Quinde 

 Chimborazo. » 2 S^, 1 $. On Mount Chimborazo only. The 

 whole year; altitude 13500—14500 feet. 



Oreotrochilus chimborazo jamesoni Jardine. — »Pecho 

 blanco. » 3 S3^ 1 ?? Pichincha near the crater, Antisana. 

 The whole year; altitude 14000—15000 feet. 



Oreotrochilus chimborazo söderströmi, n. subsp. — »Pecho 

 blanco Zalamala. » 1 c^, Only found at the foot of Quillotoa. 

 November — January, altitude 12000 — 13000 feet. 



Similar to O. ch. jamesoni, thus the throat shining violet- 

 blue, but five or six of the lower series of feather are distinctly, 

 although narrowly margined with shining green. 



This bird is consequently intermediate between chim- 

 borazo and jamesoni, but it is for the present impossible to say, 

 whether it is a local subspecies, or a hybrid between the two 

 others. Consul Söderström's statement that this bird only 

 occurs at the locality mentioned, and the fact that it has a 

 local name, appears to speak for the assumption, that it really 

 is a subspecies. It also lives at somewhat less altitude than 

 the others. 



Urochroa bougueri BouRC. — »Companere Vicente.» 1 3^, 



1 ?, Milligalh, Mindo. May— June, altitude 6000 feet. 



These two specimens agree with description of U. bougeri, 

 but the shining blue extends all över the breast and meets 

 the green on the flanks. The outermost rectrix only white 

 at the base, otherwise black. Both sexes have a broad rust- 

 red spöt at the gape to below the eye. 



Length of wing of the male 80 mm.
