DESCRIPTIONS OF TEN NEW BIRDS FROM THE 
SANTA MARTA REGION OF COLOMBIA. 
BY OUTRAM BANGS. 
Durinc 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! 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, A/yiobius assimilis, 
was represented in Mr. Brown’s collection, the Brown and the 
1List of Birds collected in the District of Santa Marta, Colombia, by Herbert H. Smith,
