Measurements. — Males (7 from Colon and Darien), wing 105.4- 

 110.3 (107.3), tail 56.0-59.2 (57.3), culmen from base 20.7-22.0 

 (21.3), tarsus 18.0-19.3 (18.5) mm. 



Females (7 from Canal Zone, eastern Province of Panama, and 

 Darien), wing 102.6-110.0 (106.4), tail 53.6-58.7 (56.5), culmen 

 from base 20.3-22.6 (21.4), tarsus 18.5-19.8 (18.9) mm. 



Resident. Rather rare and little known ; recorded from Veraguas, 

 the Caribbean slope of the Canal Zone, Cerro Bruja, Colon, Cerro 

 Azul and Cerro Chucanti, eastern Province of Panama, Cerro Sapo, 

 Cerro Pirre, and the upper Rio Jaque, Darien. 



The type specimen (listed as a male, but from the plumage a 

 female) was collected by McLeannan and Galbraith on the Atlantic 

 slope near the railroad. 



Salvin and Godman (Biol. Centr.-Amer., Aves, vol. 2, 1895, p. 409, 

 pi. 59, fig. 1 ) describe and figure another female "sent us by Arce in 

 one of his last collections made in Veraguas." This specimen, now in 

 the British Museum is marked as taken in 1875. Hargitt (Cat. Birds 

 Brit. Mus., vol. 18, 1890, p. 81) gives the locality as "Veragua" which 

 is misleading as this would imply that the bird might have come from 

 Chiriqui. Griscom (Amer. Mus. Nov., no. 293, 1928, p. 4) probably 

 is correct in his statement that the bird "must almost certainly have 

 come from the Caribbean slope." The first male from Panama was 

 secured by E. A. Goldman on Cerro Bruja on June 4, 1911. Gold- 

 man's notes record that it was "on the trunk of a tree loaded with 

 aerial plants." Goldman, the following year collected 2 males and a 

 female near Cana, Darien. The bird was recorded next by Bond and
