106. Nemosia guira (L.). 



A male from Arcbidona, East Ecuador, in April. 



107. Thlypopsis ornata (Scl.). 



Nemosia ornata, Scl. et Salv. Nomencl. p. 24. 

 One male and one female from Mindo (about 7000 feet), 

 on the lower western side of Picliincha. 



108. Sericossypha albicristata (Lafr.). 

 Lamprotes albocristatus, Scl. et Salv. Nomencl. p. 22. 

 Two males and a female shot in March at Baeza, on the 



Eastern Andes (5500 feet), to which side they are entirely 

 confined, and where they appear to be not at all common, 

 for none of the few natives of the place seemed to have seen 

 them befoi'e. We came across a flock of about a dozen. 

 The female had the throat dull claret-coloured, and one male 

 had the throat of a much brighter red than the other, being 

 evidently an older bird. So far as I could see the other 

 birds in the flock, there appeared to be one or two that had 

 little or no white on the head. They were feeding on the 

 berries of a fairly low tree. 



109. Chlorospingus semifuscus (Scl.). 



Four males and two females of this species were collected 

 on both sides of the Andes at altitudes of from 7000 to 

 11,500 feet. They were generally met with singly, and 

 except at Papallacta, where we shot two, were all from 

 diff'erent localities and elevations. They frequented the tops 

 of the higher trees, as did all the members of this genus 

 we met with. 



110. Chlorospingus atripileus (Lafr.). 



One male and one female from the west side of Pichincha 

 (8000 feet). 



111. Chlorospingus RUBRiRosTRis (Lafr.). 



A single male from Papallacta (11,500 feet), Feb. 1899. 

 Bill yellowish red, iris brown. 



112. Chlorospingus nigrifrons Lawr. 

 Chlorospingus superciliaris nigrifrons, Scl. Cat. B. xi. p. 247. 

 Six males and four females from Milligalli, Gualea, and 



Mindo, West Ecuador (5000 to 7000 feet).
