328 Mr. C. E. llellmayr on some 



section was made known by Count Berlepsch as Calospiza 

 formosa sincipitalis (' Ornis/ xiv. Feb. 1907, p. 348j. The 

 type came from Leopoldina, a place on the Rio Araguaya, 

 in the Brazilian State of Goyaz, whence the Tring Museum 

 also received several examples through Mons. G. A. Baer. 

 In my report on M. Baer's collections * I have discussed, 

 at some length, the various geographical races of C. flava, 

 viz. : C. flava flava (Gm.), Bahia to Pernambuco ; C. flava 

 chloroptera (Vieill.), Sao Paulo and Paraguay ; C. flava 

 sincipitalis Berl., Goyaz ; C. flava margarita (Allen), Matto 

 Grosso. 



About the two Colombian species described by Comte de 

 Dalmas I have to say a few words. Of (7. Johanna, the 

 Munich Museum has lately received an adult male, a female, 

 and a young bird, from the Province of Choco, Western 

 Colombia. This striking species is evidently confined to the 

 humid forests on the Pacific slopes of the Western Cordillera 

 in Colombia and North-western Ecuador |. C. emilice Dalm., 

 which inhabits the same district, I have shown to be the true 

 ( '. lavinia of Cassin, and I have, accordingly, proposed the 

 new name C. lavinia dalmasi for the Central American form %. 

 A third race of this group has been separated as C. lavinia 

 cara by Mr. O. Bangs in Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash, xviii. 1905, 

 p. 155 (type from Ceiba, Honduras). It agrees with C. I. 

 dalmasi in coloration, but is larger, with a much longer and 

 more slender bill. 



In 1901, Count Berlepsch descrihed Calliste sophia, two 

 specimens of which had been obtained by Mr. O. Garlepp at 

 Songo in the Yungas of Western Bolivia (Journ. f. Ornith. 

 1901, p. 83). Shortly afterwards Mr. Jean Kalinowski 

 forwarded a series from Marcapata, S.E. Peru, to the 



* Novit. Zool. xv. 1908, pp. 26-28. 



t L)r. Sclater ('Ibis,' 1901, p. 597) recorded two specimens from Oroya 

 and Rio Yiniuibare, Peru, P. Simons coll. This, however, was due to 

 some misunderstanding, for, as I am informed by Mr. C. Chubb, the 

 British Museum does not possess specimens of C. johannre, the two skins 

 mentioned being referable to Chlorochrysa fulgentissima Ohapm.
