J" Q ^°] BANGS CHIRIQUI BIRDS 25 



Count Salvadori thought the birds from Chiriqui differed in 

 having red shafts and tips to the feathers of the nape. On com- 

 paring this large series with Costa Rica specimens, I could find 

 no constant difference, some Costa Rica examples having such 

 red markings and some Chiriqui birds being without them. 



Bolborhynchus lineolatus (Cassin). 



Two males, Caribbean slope of Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000 feet, 

 June 12. These two were shot from a small flock that was feed- 

 ing in some low bushes, — the only time Mr. Brown met with 

 this rare little parrot. 



Brotogerys jugularis (Midler) . 

 One adult female, Bogaba, July 4. 



Amazona virenticeps (Salvadori). 

 Three males, Bogaba, July. 



Pionus menstruus rubrigularis (Cab.).
