Dacnis cayana glaucogularis Berl. & Stolzm. One adult male, 

 Perico, September 12. 



Coereba magnirostris (Tacz.). Six adult males, Huancabamba, 

 Perico and Bellavista, August and September. 



This is a very distinct form, its enormous bill (exposed culmen 16-18 mm.), 

 grayish back and large white speculum at once separating it. Berlepsch 

 and Stolzmann P. Z. S., March 3, 1896, p. 337, have suggested that perhaps 

 C. peruviana (Cab.) is an earlier name for the species. After carefully 

 reading Cabanis's original description we can see no way of ever being 

 certain what his bird, based, he himself says, on an imperfect specimen, 

 really was, and prefer for the present, anyway, to use Taczanowski's 

 appropriate name. 



Icteridse. 



Ostinops alfredi alfredi (Des Murs). Ten adults, both sexes, Perico 

 and Bellavista, September. 



Molothrus bonariensis occidentalis Berl. & Stolz. Seven adults, 

 both sexes, Sullana, July and August. 



Only seen on the coastal deserts where it occurs in large flocks. 



Icterus mesomelas taczanowskii Ridg. Three adult males, Perico 

 and Bellavista, September. 



Some of the natives at Sullana kept this Oriole as a cage bird. It is 

 probable that they captured the bird in the immediate vicinity, although 

 the expedition did not meet with it there. 



Trupialis bellicosa (De Filippi). Eight adult males, Huancabamba, 

 August. 



Inhabits the grassy interandean valleys, never observed in the lowlands. 



Tanagridse. 



Tanagra taczanowskii (Scl.). Nine adults, both sexes, Perico and 

 Bellavista, September.

 west of Perico, September 11.

 and female, Charapi, September 6.
