and clearer yellow on the lower breast and abdomen, may be regarded 

 as more typical. It will be noted that vividus, in general, has a lower 

 altitudinal range. It is interesting that none have been taken as yet 

 on Cerro Azul.

Characters. — Foreneck and upper breast pale buff ; lower breast, 

 sides, and abdomen clear yellow ; slightly duller green above. Dis- 

 tinctly duller colored than M. p. vividus; tarsus shorter as in that 

 form.

 Colombia), wing 59.0-61.3 (60.2), tail 49.7-56.8 (51.8), culmen 

 from base 11.1-12.0 (11.6), tarsus 11.2-12.8 (12.3) mm. 



Females (3 from Cerro Pirre, Darien), wing 54.5-58.2 (57.3), 

 tail 46.5-48.6 (47.4), culmen from base 11.3-12.5 (12.0), tarsus

Resident. Rare, on Cerro Pirre, Darien. 



This form was described from three males and two females col- 

 lected near Cana, Darien, by E. A. Goldman, at elevations of 550 to 

 760 meters. Benson, in 1928, secured a male and two females. 



A note by Goldman speaks of one taken from a low limb in heavy 

 forest. In three of the stomachs preserved from his specimens I 

 identified a variety of small insects, including numerous kinds of 

 beetles, a winged ant, other small hymenoptera, and Homoptera. A 

 small caterpillar indicated that occasionally this flycatcher may take 

 other than flying insects. 



A male of this race collected by M. A. Carriker, Jr., on the Rio 

 Nuqui, at the base of the Serrania de Baudo, on the western slope of 

 central Choco, Colombia, marks an extension from the previously 

 known range. It is the first record for Colombia.
