Another example in the British Museum, said to be from Bogota, 

 is probably the adxdt mule, as it has a white forehead and the chin- 

 angle also white. 



The youiici is described by Professor Baird as differing from the 

 adult in having the anterior part of the body brown, instead of 

 reddi.sh, and the basal portion of the gape and lower jaw yellowish, 

 instead of black, A specimen which I take to be immature differs 

 from the adult in wanting the cross bars on the wings, and having 

 those on the tail less distinct, but more especially in having the 

 head dull ashy brown, until the whole tinge of the plumage is 

 duller than in the adult. 



The llcddish-brown ^V^en is an inhabitant of Ecuador, whence it 

 extends into ^'cw Granada.
