Teogon caligatus, mebidionalis, and eamonianus. 



To distinguish typical adult males of these three forms from one 

 another is no doubt easy enough. T. caligatus, from Mexico and 

 Guatemala, can be at once distinguished from the others by its 

 entirely hJaclc head, blue nuchal collar, and finely vermicnlated 

 black and white wing-coverts ; in both T. meridionaJis, from British 

 Guiana and Venezuela, and T. ramonianus, from Ecuador aud the 

 Upper Amazons, the whole head is bine, and in the former the 

 wing-coverts resemble those of T. ccdigatus but the black pre- 

 dominates, while in the latter they are entirely black. From 

 Guatemala and Panama wc have some specimens (mostly immature 

 males) in which the nuchal collar is considerably wider, and the 

 blue extends over the back of the head, but the greab majority from 

 these countries are typical T. caligatus. Again, in specimens from 

 Eemedios in Antioquia, the head is nearly as blue as in typical 

 T. meridionalis, and the birds must be considered as belonging to 

 that race, while from other parts of the U. S. of Colombia, and 

 Babahoyo in Ecuador, we find typical T. caligatus. The fact is, 

 these two races completely intergrade, and it is almost impossible 

 to draw a line between the two. T. ramonianus appears to be a
