DESCRIPTIONS OF TEN NEW BIRDS FROM THE 

 SANTA MARTA REGION OF COLOMBIA. 



BY OUTRAM BANGS. 



During the two years Mr. W. W. Brown, Jr., was collecting for 

 my brother, E. A. Bangs, and myself in the Santa Marta region 

 of Colombia, I published several papers on the birds from time to 

 time, as they were received, describing a number of new forms. 

 Many species, however, were not satisfactorily identified, owing 

 to lack of material necessary for comparison. Some of these 

 have since been described, but there remain the following — 

 among them, some of the best-marked forms of the region — that 

 appear to need special names. 



At the time Mr. Brown was in the Santa Marta region, Mr. 

 Herbert H. Smith also was collecting there, in the interest of the 

 American Museum of Natural History. Dr. J. A. Allen has pub- 

 lished a long and very instructive paper 1 on the results of Mr. 

 Smith's work for the first year and a half, giving in it lists of all 

 birds that thus far have been recorded from the region. He 

 described nine new species, only one of which, Myiobius assimilis, 

 was represented in Mr. Brown's collection, the Brown and the 



iList of Birds collected in the District of Santa Marta, Colombia, by Herbert H. Smith,
