The two specimens from Santa Marts (Nos. 3 and 4) are practically identical 

 with the type in the Paris Museum. The latter has the ochroous frontal band and 

 the sides of the face slightly paler — diflerences no doubt due to fading, for it has 

 been exposed to the light iu the galleries for many years. The Ejido bird, a fresh 

 skin in good condition, agrees iu every particular with the Colombian specimens. 

 C. browni becomes, therefore, a synonym of ii .ferrtujinei pectim. 



This scarce species inhabits the mountains of North-western Venezuela (Silla 

 de Caraccas, Ejido) and Northern Colombia (Sierra de Santa Marta), occurring 

 exclusively at high elevations.*

• The locality "San Estcban, Venezuela" (i.i-. Imt, low country), attached to an example in the 

 British Museum is most certainly incorrect. The species might occur on the higher slopes of the Cumbre 

 de Valencia, although it should be noted that it has not been met with by Mr. S. M. Klages during his 

 recent collecting trip.
