450 Bangs and Noble, Birds of Peru. [oct. 



Caprimulgidae. 



Nyctidromus albicollis albicollis (Gml.). Five adults, both sexes, 

 Perico, Bellavista, Tabaconas and Huancabamba, August and September. 



These skins agree well enough with typical albicollis to be referred to that 

 form. Mr. Cory has kindly compared them with his N. albicollis obscurus 

 from Yurimaguas, Peru, and tells us that our bird has nothing to do with 

 that dark colored subspecies. 



Very abundant in all of the zones except the coastal desert. Several of 

 the birds collected were induced to alight in open clearings by imitating 

 their guttural whistle. 



Alcedinidse. 



Chloroceryie americana cabanisi (Tschudi). Three adult females, 

 Bellavista and Huancabamba, August and September. 



Picidse. 



Hypoxanthus rivolii brevirostris Tacz. One adult d\ Tabaconas, 

 September 11. 



This species was seen on one or two occasions only, always in wooded 

 valleys. 



Chrysoptilus atricollis lymani Bangs & Noble. Chrysoptilus atri- 

 collis lymani Bangs and Noble, Proceedings of the New England 

 Zoological Club, Vol. VI, p. 85-86, June 7, 1918, original description.

 15.

 24. 



Trogonidse. 



Pharomachrus auriceps (Gould). One adult 9 , Tabaconas, August 

 19. This specimen is in no way smaller than Colombian skins, and we 

 therefore do not refer it to P '. auriceps heliactin (Cabs, and Hein.) which on 

 geographical grounds it should represent. 



Observed only in the humid subtropical forest of Tabaconas.
