PANAMA BIRDS P.N.E.Z.C.

Pteroglossus torquatus (Gmel.). 
One male. 
Capito maculicoronatus Lawr. 
Two adult males. 
Picumnus olivaceus Lafr. 
Two adult males. ‘These are true 2. olivaceus. 
Celeus squamatus Lawr. 
Three males. 
Celeus squamatus Lawr. of Panama is a very well-marked form, 
differing in many ways from C. /oricatus that surrounds it... C. 
sguamatus differs from C. /oricatus (Costa Rica specimens, and the 
type of C. mentalis from Turbo, Colombia) in being smaller, the 
wing averaging 118.5 mm. as against 123.5 mm., in having the 
upper parts a paler shade of rufous, the under parts much paler, 
pale buff instead of dull ochraceous rufous, and very much more 
conspicuously marked with scale-like black markings, which are 
quite as heavy on belly and sides as on breast. In C. loricatus 
the black markings become much smaller and less noticeable 
posteriorly. 
Melanerpes wagleri Salv. and Godm. 
Eight specimens, both sexes. These are topotypes. 
The form I described from Santa Marta as AZ. wagleri sancta- 
marte is a miniature of true wag/eri, but differs, besides, slightly 
in color, the frontal band in the Santa Marta bird being whiter, 
and the inner rectrices more heavily marked with white. 
1 Celeus loricatus Reich. was described from a specimen from northwestern Peru. I have 
seen no specimens from nearer the type locality than Turbo, Colombia,—this one the type of 
C. mentalis Cassin. Birds from Costa Rica are much the same; and while more material may 
show several geographical races, none of them are much like C. sguamatus of Panama.
