Todd-Carriker: Birds of Santa Marta Region, Colombia. 203 



The range of this form is confined to the arid Tropical Zone of the 

 northeast part of the Santa Marta region, extending around to the low 

 country south of the mountains, where Simons secured a few speci- 

 mens. It was very common around Rio Hacha, both in the open wood- 

 land and in the thorny scrub and cacti, occurring always in pairs or 

 flocks, and was noted also at Fonseca and Badillo on the occasion of 

 the writer's visit to these points in July, 1920.

part (Cienaga and Fundacion, in range; Wyatt's reference). 



Eight specimens: Cienaga and Fundacion. 



No characters appear to be available for separating the females of 

 this species from those of P. passcrina cyanophancs except the slightly 

 smaller size. The males from Fundacion have somewhat less blue on 

 the wings than the Cienaga specimen ; the blue of the rump is not so 

 intense, and the general coloration is lighter, more yellowish green. 

 They agree with a series from Calamar and Cartagena. 



The local range of this exquisite little parrot is the complement of 

 that of P. passcrina cyanophancs. Both belong to the littoral Tropical 

 Zone, but the present form occupies the region to the west and south- 

 west of the mountains. The species is characteristic of the Caribbean 

 coastal zone from the Magdalena River eastward, reaching our region 

 only in the neighborhood of the Cienaga Grande. The birds taken at 

 Fundacion were all shot in the open woodland and shrubbery.

These agree with Costa Rican specimens in having the orange chin- 

 spot well developed, and the posterior under parts with a more or less
