tained in the Dota Mountains, near San Jose, Barranca, Tur- 

 rialba, Tucurriqui, and in the forests of the Volcano of Irazu. 

 From Veragua we have also received specimens, chiefly from 



Chiriqui and Calovevora.

Mus. nostr. et P. L. S. 



This species has the widest range of all the members of the 

 genus except the migratory S. ruticilla. It was originally 

 discovered by D'Orbigny in the Province of Yungas, in 

 Bolivia, whence also we have recently received specimens 

 from Mr. Buckley shot near Tipuani, in the same province. 

 In Peru it would appear to be common in the highlands, 

 where Tschudi met with it ; as also did Whitely at San 

 Antonio, Huiro, and Potrero ; and Jelski at Monterico, 

 Montana de Vitoc, and Montana de Ropaybamba. In 

 Ecuador, Eraser found it at Pallatanga, Perucho, and Puellaro; 

 and Mr. Buckley has sent us skins from Jima. It has long 

 been known to exist in the neighbourhood of Bogota ; and 

 more recently Mr. Wyatt has found it at various points in the 

 Andes to the east of Magdalena (Alto, Santa Rosa, Canuto), in 

 the forest, at an altitude of from 5000 to 7000 ft. Lastly, 

 Mr. Goering's collections from Caripe contained examples. 

 On the isthmus of Panama the mountains are too low to suit 

 its habits, and here its northern range terminates ; for in the 

 mountains of Veragua and Costa Rica the closely-allied 

 S. aurantiaca takes its place.
