Vt>1 i90? IV ] Bangs, Birds from Western Costa Rica. 293 



Venilornis neglectus Bangs. Three adults, two males and a female, 

 Pozo del Rio Grande, April. 



Cherrie has already recorded one specimen of this species from Boruca 

 under the name Dendrobates cecilice (Malh.); the bird was rare in the 

 region visited by Underwood who saw but the three examples he took. 



Campophilus guatemalensis buxans Bangs. Four specimens, both sexes, 

 Boruca, Pozo del Rio Grande and Barranca Puntarenas, April, June and 

 August. 



Ceophloeus lineatus (Linn.). Five specimens, both sexes, Boruca, 

 Paso Real and Pozo del Rio Grande, April, May and July. 



Hargitt in "Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum,' mentions that 

 Costa Rican examples of this species examined by him differed slightly 

 from typical specimens in being less distinctly barred below. Four of the 

 five skins in the present series are very rusty below, possibly stained, and 

 the black bars are rather indistinct, but the fifth does not differ in this 

 respect from South American examples. All are rather smaller than 

 typical examples; in point of size corresponding more nearly with C. 

 scapularis, and suggesting that possibly the two forms actually intergrade 

 in western Costa Rica. 



Ceophloeus scapularis (Vig.). One adult female, Barranca Puntarenas, 

 August. 



This brings the ranges of the two forms very near to one another, and 

 the Barranca specimen may be an intergrade; its bill is white but other- 

 wise it does not differ from the Rio Grande examples of C. lineatus, being 

 of the same size and having an equally black back. 



Picumnus olivaceus flavotinctus Ridgw. Sixteen specimens, both sexes, 

 Boruca, Paso Real and Pozo del Rio Grande, April-August. 



Rhamphastid.e. 



Rhamphastos tocard Vicill. Seventeen specimens, adults of both 

 sexes and one young female, Boruca, Paso Real and Pozo del Rio Grande, 

 April-August. 



Pteroglossus frantzii Cab. Three adults, both sexes, Boruca and Pozo 

 del Rio Grande, April and May. 



Galbulid.e. 



Galbula melanogenia Set. Thirty-six specimens, adults and young of 

 both sexes, Boruca, Paso Real and Pozo del Rio Grande, April-August. 



Young individuals, about two thirds grown, with very short bills, are 

 like the adults in color, and show the same sexual difference in the color 

 of the throat, except that their upper parts are more coppery, less green. 



BUCCONID.E. 



Bucco dysoni Scl. Two adults, male and female, Paso Real, July 8. 



Ma acoptila panamensis panamensis Lafr. Twenty-one specimens, 

 young and adult of both sexes, Boruca, Paso Real, Pozo del Rio Grande 

 and Lagato, April-August.
