»Tris yellowish brown.» 



The average measureraents of the males are larget than 

 those recorded by Ridgway from three adult males from 

 Nicaragua (Birds North Middle Am. VI, 1914, p. 77). I have 

 foimd the following dimensions: 



Nine adult males from Nicaragua: wing 127—121 (123,9); 

 tail 65,5--59 (62,:); ciilmen 30—25 (27, i); tarsus 21,5—19 

 (20,6); outer anterior toe 20,5—17 (18,9).^ 



108. Tripsurus pucherani pucherani Malherbe. — 2 ^^, 

 C. R., R. Castillo viejo, Nov. 29 and Dec. 3; 1 J^, 1 ?, G. R., 

 Talamanca, Sipurio, Ang. 28; 1 ^, C. R., Talamanea, Graokul, 

 Aug. 26; 15, Nic, San Juan del Norte, March 16. »Tris 

 light brown.» 



109. Ceophloeus lineatus mesorhynchus Gab. et Heine. 

 — 1 c?, Pa., Pacora, March 3; 2 ^^, Nic, San Juan del 

 Norte, March 21 and 26. 



Äfter a careful examination I find no reason for refer- 

 ring the present Nicaragua specimens to G. 1. similis, tvhich 

 is stated to be the in Nicaragua occurring form of C. line- 

 atus. They agree entirely with C, I, mesorhynchus, but différ 

 from the present Panama specimen in their smaller size, 

 in having the bill somevvhat more dusky and the under 

 wing-coverts and basal lialf of inner webs of reraiges a little 

 more buffy.
