 duller; adult male with red of upper parts lighter (approaching 

 chestnut-rufous), that of under parts lighter and duller (approach- 

 ing orange-rufous), with the darker shading on chest and sides less 

 pronounced; auricular region more or less brownish, with tine shaft- 

 streaks of paler, instead of uniform or nearly uniform dark red, like

^ Six specimens. 



2 1 have not seen specimens from south of Bogota, but there are rather numerous 

 records for Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. I suspect that the bird from Chontales, Nic- 

 aragua, may be P. /. figlm^^, or '^^ least an intermediate between the two forms.
