Mr. W. A. Forbes on Eleven Weeks 



V. Remarks on thp: Geographical Distribution of the 

 Hylopsili. 



As Avill be seen by the subjoined Table, the known species 

 of Hylophilus are thinly distributed over the northern and 

 more characteristic portion of the Neotropical Region from 

 Mexico to Southern Brazil. They are entirely wanting in 

 the Patagonian subregion and in the arid Pacific coast-region 

 south of Guayaquil. In Western Ecuador one species cer- 

 tainly occurs, but Ave are onlj^ imperfectly acquainted with it. 

 I have not yet met with any examples of this genus in col- 

 lections from Bolivia, but it is almost certain that some 

 species occur in the forest-region of that country.
