" Twelve specimens. 



An adult male from the lower Magdalena, Colombia, is abnormally small, its meas- 

 urements being: Wing, 51; tail, 14.5; exposed culmen, 8.5; tarsus, 13; middle toe. 

 The next smallest Colombian specimen is one from Tm'bo, which measui'es: Wing, 55; 

 tail, 17; exposed culmen, 8.5; tarsus, 13.5; middle toe, 8.5. Excluding these two 

 specimens, the minimum of each measurement in the remaining series of thirty-three 

 examples is as follows: Wing, 54 (specimen from British Guiana); tail, 16.5; exposed 

 culmen, 8.5; tarsus, 13; middle toe, 9 — mme of these inininmin measurements occur- 

 ring m the Colombian series except that of the tail. 



''I have not seen specimens from the State of Antiociuia, but geographically they 

 should be referable to the present form.
