Page 780, footnote h: Before Sclater, Cat. Birds, etc., insert: 

 Cotinga cincta. 



Count, von Berlepsch has recentl}^ described as a new species a 

 Cotinga, related to C. ridgwaiji and C. nattererii and possibly the same 

 as the latter, under the name Cotinga simoni (Berlepsch, Proc. Fourth 

 Internat. Orn. Congr., Feb., 1907, 361), from southwestern Colom- 

 bia (San Jose de Rio Dagua and Buenaventura; coll. Count von 

 Berlepsch). He compares it with C. ridgwayi (C. nattererii being pos- 

 sibly unknown to him), from the adult male of which that of C. siniord 

 is said to differ as follows: "The violaceous color of the throat and 

 the middle belly is rather darker, nearly black; the blue of the upper 

 parts is also darker, and the top of the head is shaded with darker 

 violaceous. The blue band on the upper breast is broader. There 

 is a bright blue spot on the upper chin wanting in .the other species. 

 The wings are longer and the bill much longer and broader. The 

 third primary is rather narrower. In all other points, especially in 

 the length of the upper and under tail-coverts, it agrees perfectly 

 with C. rldgivayi. The female is quite differently colored from that 

 of C. amahilis, but agrees very well with the female of C. cayana.^' 



Page 800, footnote a: Specimens from Bogota and Santa Marta, 

 Colombia, have recently been separated as Elaenia, gaimardi hogotensis 

 by Count von Berlepsch (Proc. Fourth Int. Congr., Feb., 1907, 421; 

 Bogota, Colombia; coll. Count von Berlepsch), while those from 

 British Guiana, Caj^enne, and northeastern Brazil have been sepa- 

 rated as Elaenia gaimardi guianensis (Berlepsch, Proc. Fourth Int. 

 Orn. Congr., Feb., 1907, 421; Camacusa, British Guiana; coll. Count 

 von Berlepsch).
