Remarks. — That the form of Euchlornis aureipectus inhabiting the 

 coast region of northern Venezuela should pro.ve to be different from 

 that found in the higher elevations of the interior is not surprising, in 

 view of the fact that several other birds have been found to vary in the 

 same limits. This species was described from "Bogota," Colombia,
