throughout this genus)^ while those from the eastern side 

 had it dark grey. The females have the vent more fawn- 

 coloured than the males, and the same colour extends up 

 the centre of the breast. 



84. Calliste cyanopygia (ScL). 



Nine adult males, three young males, and three females 

 from Canzacota, Gualea, and the western side of Pichincha, 

 at altitudes of from 6000 to 8000 feet. Found in high trees 

 on the more open parts of the mountain-slopes. The females 

 are much duller than the males, and have the under tail- 

 coverts dark green, edged with pale greenish yellow, and 

 in one skin with light fawn ; they have also less gold on 

 the shoulders. Young males resemble the females, but have 

 brighter golden shoulders. 



I believe this species to be undoubtedly confined to the 

 western side of the Andes. 



85. Iridornis dubusia (Bp.). 



Three males and two females from the western side of 

 Pichincha and Corazon, at altitudes of about 7500 feet, seen 

 singly or in pairs. The females have slightly more black on 

 the forehead than the males, and also have the under tail- 

 coverts rufous. Iris dark red. 



Here again I think Buckley's skins in the British Museum 

 are wrongly localized, for I cannot believe it possible 

 that this bird is found also in the hot forest-land of the 

 Napo. We certainly never came across it there. Very 

 many of Buckley's skins are merely labelled " Quito,'' 

 which is most misleading, while " Sarayacu " figures as the 

 locality for all birds from the eastern side, irrespective of 

 altitude, as well as for many which are not found there. 



86. POECILOTHRAUPIS LUNULATA (Du Bus). 



A large series of this Tanager from Pichincha and the 

 environs of Quito, West Ecuador, and Papallacta, East 

 Ecuador, where they range from 9000 to 11,500 feet. During 

 November and December, when many kinds of berries were 

 ripe on the mountain -slopes above Quito, these birds were
