« Fifteen specimens, from Panama. 



b Six specimens; five from Panama, ttnc said lo be from Costa Rica, Init j>rolnibly an 

 error. 



The Colombian specimens are decidedly (and uniformly) deeper and clearer (less 

 yellowish) olive-green below than any of the specim(>ns from Panama; but th(>y are all 

 in veFy fresh plumage, and I am inclined to ascribe the difference to that cause.
