FAMILY PHASIANIDAE 321 



A chick, a male recently hatched, collected by Bernard Finestein at 

 900 meters on the slopes of Cerro Mali, Dari6n, on February 26, 

 1959, is darker than burnt umber above and on the legs and under 

 tail coverts, with a tint of cinnamon on the bases of the down on 

 the sides of the head and the upper neck, where it forms an indefinite, 

 rather broad line; less distinctly cinnamon on the wings; a narrow 

 line of bufify white from the base of the wing to the rump on either 

 side; below dull buffy white, barred indistinctly with neutral gray 

 on the throat and foreneck; breast and sides dull brownish black; 

 center of lower breast and abdomen dull white. 



An older male that I secured at Jaque, Darien, on April 6, 1946, 

 has short, narrow stripes of cinnamon buff on the breast, and the 

 upper fore neck grayish brown, with faint basal markings of grayish 

 white. 



ODONTOPHORUS GUJANENSIS CASTIGATUS Bangs 



Odontophorus castigatus Bangs, Auk, vol. 18, no. 4, Oct. 1901, p. 356. (Divala, 

 Chiriqui, Panama.) 



Characters. — Neck, all around, and upper back brown ; with less 

 white on throat and upper foreneck than O. g. marmoratus. 



Measurements. — Males (6 specimens from Panama) wing 139- 

 148.8 (142.6), tail 61.2-71.0 (65.3), culmen from cere 17.8-19.5 

 (18.6), tarsus 43.0-46.3 (44.6) mm. 



Females (3 from Panama), wing 137.8-144.8 (142.1), tail 56.2- 

 61.0 (59.5), culmen from cere 16.9-17.3 (17.1), tarsus 43.1-44.6 

 (43.9) mm. 



Iris brown; tarsus lead color (from label of a male, collected by 

 W.W.Brown, Jr.). 



Resident. Tropical Zone of western Chiriqui; known in Panama 

 from early collections made at Divala and Bugaba ; no recent records. 



The race was described originally from 7 specimens taken at the 

 end of 1900, near Divala, by W. W. Brown, Jr. Arce had obtained 

 a pair earlier at Bugaba (Salvin, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1870, p. 

 218) which came to the British Museum in the Salvin-Godman col- 

 lection. Bangs (Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol. 3, 1902, p. 22) 

 received 3 males taken by Brown at Bugaba in July 1901, the latest 

 published report of this race in the republic. 



This form of the marbled wood quail has most of its range in 

 southwestern Costa Rica, as it barely enters Panama. An early report 

 of it from "Veragua" (Sclater and Salvin, Nomen. Avium Neotrop., 

 1873, p. 138) refers to the skins sent by Arce from Bugaba.
