NO. 3 NEW BIRDS FROM PANAMA AND VICINITY NELSON IO, 



head, lores and below eyes ; posterior part of crown becoming green- 

 ish and shading- into the nearly uniform olive green covering rest of 

 upper parts, but becoming a little brighter greenish on edgings to 

 wings and on rump ; chin, throat and breast dull gamboge yellow, a 

 little paler on throat and darker and more greenish on breasl ; 

 feathers of chin and throat marked with inconspicuous small arrow- 

 shaped black spots on tips as in some species of Chlorospingus ; 

 sides of breast and flanks yellowish olive green shading into dull 

 lemon yellow on abdomen ; under tail coverts dull gamboge yellow ; 

 primaries dark slate except for greenish edges ; tail olive green ; bill 

 blackish ; feet dusky horn color. 



Measurements of type.- — Wing, 82 ; tail, 66 ; culmen, 15 ; tarsus, 27. 



Remarks. — Goldman found this to be a common bird in the tree 

 tops on the summit of Mount Pirri. He informs me that the skin 

 on the top of the head is much thickened and oily although these 

 birds have no crest or other development of the feathers which would 

 account for this character.
