I have found this species elsewhere. On skinning the specimen it 

 proved to be an adult male. 



There is no objection apparent to Hellmayr's proposal to unite 

 the currently recognized genus Buarremon with Atlapeies.^

Near Ocumare de la Costa these sparrows were found in dense 

 growths of scrub, where they moved about among the branches near 

 the ground. Specimens were taken on October 26, 27, and 30, the 

 last being a female in molt.

On November 13, 12 miles south of El Sombrero, I flushed two of 

 these birds in high grass in a Uttle opening m the thorn scrub and 

 collected one, an adult female. The specimen is molting from very 

 worn plumage so that its characters of color are obscure. Identifi- 

 cation as the typical form is made therefore principally on the basis 

 of accepted range, though so far as can be told the bird resembles 

 those from farther south.
