The yellow of the abdominal area is somewhat more extensive and, 

 with other yellow areas, paler in color than in specimens from northern 

 Argentina. I have none from Bolivia.

(3834) SPINUS ICTERICUS PERUANIJS Berlepsch and Stolzmann. 



Spinus ictericus peruanus Berlepsch and Stolzmann, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1896, 

 p. 352 (La Merced, Peru). 



I have seen no specimens from La Merced , but have three from Oroya 

 and one from Lima. The latter has the back brighter and under parts 

 darker, and is smaller than the former. Possibly there is a littoral 

 as well as an Andean race when the Oroya birds would doubtless be 

 nearer true peruanus, although Btiiepsch, with some reservations, 

 refers Lima specimens to it. 



Our series from 10,000 feet and upward in southern Peru agrees 

 with the Oroya specimens, but two males from near San Miguel 

 Bridge (4,500 and 6,000 feet), although they are like the remaining 

 specimens in color, are considerably smaller (wing, 62 and 66 mm.). 

 The Bolivian form, of which I have an excellent series, is distinguished 

 by its paler coloration and greater extent of yellow on the tail rather 

 than by the characters assigned to it by its describer. 



San Miguel Bridge, 2 males; Chospiyoc, 2 males, 1 female; Ttica- 

 Ttica, 1 male, 2 females; Cuzco, 3 males, 2 females; Pisac, 4 males; 

 La Raya, 1 male, 1 female.
