of the immature Tirapata male to the dull greenish olive of that of 

 the Pisac bird, it is difficult to understand how its bright yellow upper 

 tail coverts could become as dull as they are in the male from Pisac. 

 The latter closely resembles a male in comparable plumage from 

 Bolivia labeled by von Berlepsch "olivascens," but is slightly smaller, 

 (wing, 80 mm., tail, 53 mm., as compared with 87 mm., tail 54.5 mm.). 

 Menegaux gives no measurements for the form from Pulcayo, Bolivia, 

 for which he proposes the name Pseudochloris clivascens herle'pschi,^^ 

 and I am therefore unable to consider it in this connection. How- 

 ever, if the Cuzco form be valid, the Pisac bird should be referred to it. 

 The status of the Tirapata bird is not settled by the material at hand. 

 Pisac, 1 male.

Pseudochloris uropygialis connectens Chapman, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 41, 

 1919, p. 329 (La Raya, Peru). 



Suhspecijic characters. — ^Most nearly related to PsendocJiloris 

 uropygialis uropygialis (d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye) of Bolivia, but 

 male with anterior portion of auriculars and, usually, region below 

 the e3^e olive-yellow, yellow more extensive on sides and flanks; 

 female with the whole head yellower than in PsevdocMoris uropij- 

 gialis uropygialis. 



La Raya, 4 males, 3 females; Ttica-Ttica, 1 male. 



(3913) PHRYGILUS GAYI PUNENSIS Ridgway. 



Phrygilus punensis Ridgway, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1887, p. 434 (basin of Lake 

 Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia). 



Found in the open plains of the tableland. There is much varia- 

 tion in color in the specimens listed below. Some have the upper 

 parts uniform olive-green, in others it is warm golden brownish. An 

 adult from La Paz and another from Tirapata can be closely matched. 

 Specimens from Oroya ( = chloronotus Berlepsch and Stolzmann) also 

 find their duplicates. I use the above combination of names without 

 having determined the relationships of gayi and aldunatei. 



La Raya, 8 males, 3 females; Cuzco, 10 males, 5 females; Huara- 

 condo Canyon, 1 male.

Our series contains specimens in both worn (April) and fresh 

 (October, November) plumage. They agree with others from near 

 Santiago. 



La Raya, 6 males, 1 female; Cuzco, 2 males; Pisac, 1 male; Huara- 

 condo Canyon (11,000 feet), 1 male (breeding, Apr. 10).
