Collection of Birds from Columbia. 201 



Sturnella LUDoviciANA (Linn.). 



San Sebastian (0700 ft.), 5th April. "Eyes brown." 



CaSSIDIX ORYZIVORA (Gni.). 



Manaure (2700 ft.), $, 9tli May. "Eyes pale dirty 

 orange-yellow." 



Cyanocorax affinis, Pelz. 



Valle Dupar (700 ft.), 4tli February; Atanques (2700 ft.), 

 9th March. "Eyes yellow. A very noisy bird ; common." 



These specimens differ somewhat from Columbian examples 

 of C. affinis, but are not in very fresh plumage. The back 

 is almost uniform brown, with a faint purple shade ; and there 

 is no dark blue on the nape. In the latter character they do 

 not agree with the description of C. sclateri, Heine, which is 

 the nearest neighbour of the present bird in point of locality 

 (Carthagena) . But it is very doubtful whether the latter 

 bird is separable from C. affinis. 



Sayornis cineracea (Lafr.). 



San Jose (5000 ft.), 14th March. "Eyes brown." 



Phyllomyias semifusca, Scl. 



Atanques (2700 ft.) , 25th February. " Common all through 

 the Nevada." 



Originally described from Santa-Marta specimens. 



PiTANGUS DERBIANUS (Kp.). 



Valle Dupar (700 ft.), 6th March. "Eyes brown." 

 Agrees with Venezuelan examples formerly called P. riifi- 

 pennis (Lafr.) . The difference between these and birds from 

 Central America is very slight, consisting chiefly of the 

 greater amount of rufous on the wing-coverts. 



Myiodynastes audax (Gm.). 



Manaure (2700 ft,), $, 6th May. "Eyes brown. Found 

 in the forest." 



Agrees with a Venezuelan example obtained at Pilar by 

 Goering. 



Megarhynchus pitangua (Linn.). 



Atanques (2700 ft.), 27th February. "Eyes brown."
