yee | ALLEN, North American Birds from Colombia. 365 
been recorded from Bucaramanga, Colombia, about 400 miles south of 
Santa Marta, by Count von Berlepsch (J. f. O., 1884, 303). 
15. Nuttallornis borealis. OLrve-sipED FLyYcATCHER.—A_ single 
specimen was taken at San Lorenzo (alt. 7500 ft.), May 13, 1899. Previ- 
ously recorded from Minca (March 13) by Salvin and Godman (Ibis, 
1880, 125), and from La Concepcion (March 8) by Bangs (Z. c., XIU, 98). 
It has not been recorded from south of Bogota, Colombia. 
16. Contopus virens. Woop Prwrr.—A specimen was taken at 
Valparaiso, April 19, and another at Cacagualito, May 10—a very late 
record for so far south. It was previously recorded from Santa Marta — 
a single specimen, April 5 —by Godman and Salvin (Ibis, 1880, 125). 
Bogota, Colombia, seems to form its present known southern limit. 
17. Empidonax virescens. GREEN-CRESTED FLYCATCHER. — The 
four specimens taken were obtained at Bonda, Nov. 16, Onaca, Dec. 28 
and Jan. 21, and Valparaiso, March 21. There is a previous winter record 
for the species for Santa Marta (Bangs, /. c., XII, 137), these forming 
its only Colombian records. It has, however, been recorded from west- 
ern Ecuador. 
18. Icterus galbula. BaLtTrmore OrIoLE.— Although this species is 
not represented in the Smith Collection, it has been twice recorded from 
the Santa Marta district —from Minca, Feb. 12, 1879, by Salvin and God- 
man (Ibis, 1880, 123), and from Santa Marta (winter) by Bangs (¢. c., XII, 
139). These are the most southern records for the species. 
19. * Dolichonyx oryzivorus. BospoL_tNK.—A specimen was taken at 
Cienaga, Sept. 12, and another at Bonda, Oct. 12 —the only Colombian 
records, although it has a wide winter distribution in South America, 
extending to Bolivia and the southern border of Brazil. 
20. Spiza americana. DickcrissEL.— Four specimens were taken at 
Bonda, Jan. 4 and 5, and Mar. 21. It is also recorded by Bangs ( /. c., XH, 
140) from Santa Marta. It has been also reported from other parts of 
Colombia, and from Venezuela and Guiana. 
21 Zamelodia ludoviciana. ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK.— This spe- 
cies was taken at Masinga Veija, Nov. 23, and at Valparaiso, March 29. 
Previously recorded from Minca (Jan. 29) by Salvin and Godman (Ibis, 
1880, 122), and by Bangs (/. c., XII, 140) from Santa Marta. It has a wide 
winter range in northern South America, specimens having been recorded 
from western Colombia and central Ecuador. 
22. Piranga rubra. SUMMER TANAGER. — Apparently acommon winter 
visitant, the Smith Collection containing thirty-three specimens, taken 
mostly at Bonda, and at various dates from Noy. 8 to March 17. It has 
been previously reported from the region by Salvin and Godman (Ibis, 
1879, 200, and 1880, 121) and Bangs (/. c., XII, 141). Some of the males 
taken in November were in the fully adult red plumage; others taken in 
December and January were moulting into the red dress, while a number 
of young males taken in these months showed no trace of moulting. 
The known winter range of the species extends to Peru and Bolivia.
