* From the measurements, pale coloration, and locality tliis might be 

 assumed to be an immature example of s. c. minimus. One other form of 

 Spilornis, S. asturinus Meyer (S. B. Ges., Isis, Dresden, p. 13, 1884, Patr. 

 ign.) I do not know the relations or distribution of, and so cannot place.
