BIRD LIFE IN THE URUBAMBA VAUL,EY OF PERU. 113 



(3925) PHRYGILUS UNICOLOR UNICOLOR (d'Orblgny and Lafresnaye). 



Emberiza unicolor (I'Orbigny and Lafresnaye, Mag. de Zool., 1837, p. 79 (Cor- 

 dillera of Tacora, Peru). 



Taken only by Heller, I am surprised at our failure to secure this 

 species at Tirapata or La Raj^a. 



Occobamba Pass, above Ollantaytambo, 13,000 feet, 2 males; above 

 Machu Picchu, 14,000 feet, 1 male, 1 female (breeding, June 5). 



(S929) PHRYGILUS ALAUDINUS EXCELSUS Berlepsch. 



Phrygiliis alaudinus excelsus Berlepsch, Proc. Fourth Int. Cong., 1907, p. 351 

 (Vacas, Bolivia). 



This is a very common bird at Tirapata, where we took 16 specimens 

 in three days, but it was not found north of La Ray a. Our specimens 

 agree with a topotypical series from Bolivia, and comparison of both 

 lots with Chilean material confirms the validity of this race. 



La Ray a, 3 males. 



(3930) PHRYGILL'S PLEBEJUS Tschudi. 



Phrygilus plebejus Tschudi, Arch, fiir Naturg., 1844, p. 290 (Peru).
