Journey through Colombia and Ecuador. 4G3 



78. CaLLISTE NIGRICINCTA (Bp.). 



We met with only one male of this lovely Tanager, which 

 we shot at the Rio Tiputini, running into the Napo, in the 

 same tree and at the same time as the male of C. boliviano. 



79. Calhste cyaneicollis (Lafr. & D'Orb.). 



Two males from Baeza, E. Ecuador (5500 feet). Shot in 

 the top of a high tree. 



80. Calliste labradorides (Boiss.). 



Two males from Gualea, W. Ecuador (5000 feet). We 

 found this species consorting with C. venusta. 



81. Calliste parzubakii (Lafr.). 



One male and. two females from Baeza, East Ecuador, to 

 which quarter this species is confined. The female has 

 comparatively little red on the face and yellow on the nape, 

 and looks altogether duller. This bird was found frequent- 

 ing the tops of tall trees in the forests. 



82. Calliste lunigera (Scl.). 



This is the western representative of the preceding bird, 

 and we secured a large series of individuals from Canzacota, 

 Gualea^ and the lower western slopes of Pichincha, where 

 they frequented the higher trees on the more open parts of 

 the mountain-sides. The females have the head of a clearer 

 yellow than the males, and no orange colour about the fore- 

 head. A young male has the throat greenish grey, the 

 head, ear-coverts, and rump dingy green, and a slight golden 

 hue on the forehead. Like all other members of the genus 

 inhabiting the mountainous regions, this species was only 

 to be met with in the early hours of the morning. Local 

 name, " El terciopelo." 



83. Calliste venusta (Scl.). 



Four males and two females from Canzacota, West 

 Ecuador (6500 feet), and Baeza, East Ecuador (5500 feet). 

 This was the only Calliste we found on both sides of the 

 Andes without any change in the plumage ; but I see that I 

 recorded in my notes, when skinning them, that those from 

 the western side had the iris brown (the usual colour
