Remarks.—I have selected for the type one of the specimens 
from Loma del Leon, collected over a year ago by Mr. Brown, 
because Panama specimens are more extreme of the new race 
than Chiriqui ones. All the birds taken in the latter district seem 
best referred to the new form, but most of them show an approach 
toward true 7: modestus of Costa Rica, both in size and in color. 
The Panama form of Z. modestus was referred to, and its 
characters pointed out, both by Baird? and by Salvin and Godman,3 
but so far as I can find it has not been named till now.
