Todd-Carriker : Birds of Santa Marta Region, Colombia. 243 



rectrices average more greenish or bronzy, less bluish. A young fe- 

 male (October 10) has the outer webs of the outer rectrices barred and 

 the secondaries with coarsely mottled webs, while the finely barred 

 area on the wing-coverts is faintly indicated in gray and black. 



A Magdalena Valley form, invading our region only in the lowlands 

 around the Cienaga Grande. It was fairly common at Fundacion, also 

 at Valencia, in the valley of the Rio Cesar, where the conditions are 

 somewhat similar.

 Marta (6,000 feet) Las Vegas, and Heights of Chirua. 



The single specimen of a Pharomachrus secured by Simons in the 

 Valley of Chinchicua was a young bird, and was not recognized as 

 belonging to an undescribed form by either Salvin and Godman or the 

 author of the " Trogones " in the Catalogue of the Birds in the British 

 Museum. It remained for Mr. Bangs to describe adult specimens sent 

 in by Mr. Brown from the Heights of Chirua. It is a very distinct 

 species, the male differing from those of both P. antisiensis and P. 

 auriceps in the color-pattern of the tail, which is black, with the three 

 outer rectrices white for their terminal third or more, the color ex- 

 tending obliquely in towards the shaft of each feather. The present 

 series bears out all the other characters assigned to the species by the 

 describer. The upper tail-coverts are certainly relatively longer in 

 this form than in either of the two allied species, extending more than 

 an inch beyond the tail in the adult male. No. 38,608 (March 20) is
