Two specimens : La Tigrera. 



Evidently a rare species in this region, and confined to the lower 

 foothills in the " dry forest " section of the Tropical Zone. Simons 

 secured a single specimen at Minca, where also two were secured by 

 Mr. Smith's collectors. Mr. Brown got one specimen at " Santa 

 Marta," which in this case may mean anywhere from sea-level up 

 to several thousand feet. Only two individuals were seen by the 

 writer; these were a pair, shot in the woodland along the Tamocal 

 Creek a short distance below La Tigrera.

 Ornithion inerme (not of Hartlaub) Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII,

 Camptostoma pusillum pusillum Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, IV, 



1907, 418, footnote ("Santa Marta"; meas.). — Chapman, Bull. Am. Mus. 



Nat. Hist., XXXVI, 1917, 452 ("Santa Marta"; crit.). 



Fifteen specimens: Bonda, La Tigrera, Fundacion, Dibulla, Tucur- 

 inca, and Rio Hacha. 



These agree in all respects with topotypical Cartagena skins. Males 

 average conspicuously larger than females in this form. Dr. Allen, 

 indeed, identified the males in the series he examined as Ornithion 

 inerme,. and the females as O. pusillum, including among the latter, 

 however, a specimen of Plucomyias tenuirostris (Cory). 



A rare bird, but found sparingly throughout the whole of the drier 

 parts of the lowlands, wherever heavy forest does not exist, being 

 partial instead to open woodland and shrubbery.
