Todd-Carriker : Birds of Santa Marta Region, Colombia. 375 



The four specimens of this bird secured by Mr. Brown were taken 

 at altitudes ranging from 3,000 feet at La Concepcion up to 5,500 feet 

 at San Miguel, and the species appears to be here, as elsewhere, char- 

 acteristic of the Subtropical Zone. 



336. Inezia caudata intermedia Cory. 



Seven specimens: Fundacion, Mamatoco, Dibulla, Arroya de Are- 

 nas, and Valencia. 



These, together with a series from the coast region of Colombia 

 west of the Magdalena River, agree closely with the type of this race, 

 kindly loaned by Mr. Cory, and described from near Maracaibo, Ven- 

 ezuela (Field Museum Ornithological Scries, I, 1913, 289). It is a 

 pale race, differing from typical caudata (as represented in the col- 

 lection of the Carnegie Museum by a large series from French Guiana) 

 in being more olivaceous, less brownish above, with the lower parts 

 more uniform, less shaded with buffy, and brighter yellow, the chin 

 paler. The other characters mentioned by the describer do not seem 

 to hold good, but the form appears to be an excellent one. 



The generic name Inezia Cherrie (Museum Brooklyn Institute Sci- 

 ence Bulletin, I, 1909, 390) may provisionally be accepted for this 

 species, but the writer is not prepared to indorse its reference to the 

 Cotingidx, for the reasons stated on page 321. 



This little flycatcher was taken only in the lowlands, and apparently 

 ranges over the whole of the littoral Tropical Zone, although evi- 

 dently rare. It was found only in the forest, and is a bird of incon- 

 spicuous habits.
