the valley of the Rio Indio from a short distance west of the village 

 at the mouth (near Punta Pilon) inland to near El Uracillo within 

 the northern edge of the Province of Code. These are the western 

 limits as known at present on this slope. The record for Calovevora, 

 on the Caribbean slope of Veraguas, by Salvin (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lon- 

 don, 1870, p. 211 ) seems to be in error, as though Salvin and Godman 

 (Biol. Centr.-Amer., Aves, vol. 2, 1892, p. 209) also include this in 

 their references they say that "all the specimens we have seen of this 

 species are from the line of the Panama Railway or from Chepo on 

 the Rio Bayano." I found no specimen from Veraguas in the Salvin 

 and Godman collection in the British Museum. 



In view of the range now known for panamensis, records that in- 

 clude it as a bird of Costa Rica have no apparent validity. For an 

 outline of these see Slud (Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 128, 

 1964, p. 152). In brief review, Lawrence in his Catalogue of the 

 Birds found in Costa Rica (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York, vol. 9, 

 1868, p. 128), based on collections in the Smithsonian Institution, 

 includes "365. Juliamyia typica, Bonap. Julian Carmiol," with no 

 other comment. As I have not found a specimen or a catalog entry 

 in our records to correspond with these data, it seems probable that 

 the reference was to some other species wrongly identified. Frantzius 

 (Journ. f. Orn., 1869, p. 317) who listed "365. Juliamyia typica 

 Bonap.," also with no comment, merely copied the name from 

 Lawrence. Zeledon (Cat. Aves Costa Rica, 1882, p. 21) evidently 

 also used this same source as he included it in his list as number "458 

 Juliamyia typica, Bon." without other data. A specimen in the 

 American Museum of Natural History (no. 60150) received from 

 Captain Dow, and labeled "Costa Rica," is an adult male. I find from 

 our records that Ridgway borrowed, measured, and listed this bird as 

 "an adult male said to be from Costa Rica" (U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 

 50, pt. 5, 1911, p. 521). As he included "Costa Rica?" at the end of 

 his outline of the range it is evident that he was uncertain as to 

 validity of the data. This specimen is the only one ascribed to Costa 

 Rica that has come to attention. J. M. Dow, steamer captain on 

 the Pacific Coast for the Panama Railway Company, a Corresponding 

 Member of the Zoological Society of London, had broad interests 

 in natural history. Salvin (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1863, p. 168) 

 relates that the type of the tanager Tangara dowi was given to him 

 by Captain Dow who obtained it during a visit to San Jose, Costa 

 Rica, but "was unable to inform me exactly whence it came." In 

 another account Salvin (loc. cit., 1864, p. 343) writes other details
