Five specimens : Tierra Nueva, Fundacion, and Tucurinca. 



Agreeing in all respects with specimens from Bolivia, the species 

 being remarably uniform throughout its extensive range. It is a com- 

 mon bird in the lowland forest region of the Tropical Zone between 

 the Sierra Nevada on the one side and the Cienaga Grande and Mag- 

 dalena River on the other, where it is more numerous than A. chlorop- 

 tera. It was noted also at Valencia, in the Rio Cesar Valley, in 

 August, 1920.

Four specimens : Bonda and Santa Marta. 



These specimens are at the extreme of small size for this species, but 

 this appears to be a character which cannot be correlated with locality, 

 as shown by the table of measurements given by Mr. Ridgwav ( Bul- 

 letin U. S. National Museum, No. 50, VII, 1916, 94).
