* From the measiirements, pale coloration, and locality this might be 

 assumed to be an immature example of s. c. minimii-s. One other form of 

 Spilornis, S. asturinus Meyer (S. B. Ges., Isis, Dresden, p. 13, 1884, Patr. 

 ign.) I do not know the relations or distribution of, and so cannot place.
