90 BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA PART 3 



are recognized, one, little known, in Veraguas and Code, and one in 

 eastern Panama. 



In the examination of these birds it should be remembered that 

 immature individuals in more rufous colors differ decidedly from 

 the adults. In the considerable number seen, many also have had 

 wing and tail not quite fully grown so that they do not give useful 

 measurements.

Resident. Rare, recorded in Veraguas, from near Santiago and

 Code on the Caribbean side. 



The type specimen in the British Museum (Natural History) col- 

 lected by Enrique Arce was recorded in the original description only 

 as from "Veragua" (this being the only locality on the label). In the 

 introduction to the paper including the original description, Salvin 

 wrote that during "the past year two collections were forwarded to 

 Mr. Godman and myself by Enrique Arce from Veragua. One 

 was made near Santiago de Veraguas, and the other near a small 

 village called Santa Fe. . . . Arce is now at Chiriqui, and I trust ere 

 long to receive a collection from that district." The following year 

 Salvin (idem, 1867, pp. 129-160) gave a full account of these three 

 early collections. In the introduction he wrote of them that the 

 "first and largest was from a village called Santa Fe, which is 

 described as situated twelve leagues on the Panama side of Santiago 

 the capital of \^eragua; the next was from the neighbourhood of 

 Santiago itself ; and the third from a district beyond Santiago," 

 which was from the Cordillera de Tole. In this account (p. 143) 

 juscipennis is listed from "Santiago de Veragua." 



The type was the basis of all further accounts until Ridgway (U.S. 

 Nat. Mus. Bull. 50, pt. 5, pp. 204—205) included a second record from
