No. 2185. c? • Oroya, Puno, Peru, 1000 metres, 15 July, 

 1900. Native name "Torcasa" (P. 0. Simons). 



The bird from western Venezuela and Colombia is again 

 a rather larger form, and in a general sense darker and. 

 inclining to bronze-green on the back. This form, which 

 is known under the name of C. p. bogotensis, is distributed 

 in western Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The 

 measurements are : — Culmen 15-16 mm., wing 167-200, 

 tail 114-149.

 (part, specimens/, //), 



I find that the three examples in the British Museum (one 

 from C'hanchamayo, central Peru, and two from Bolivia) 

 differ from C.p. bogotensis in being rather paler on the back, 

 wings, and tail ; tlie head, hind-neck, and entire under sur- 

 face lilac instead of vinous, and the chin and throat uniform 

 with the breast and abdomen, instead of isabelline ; the 

 wings and tail are shorter. 



Total length 295 mm., exposed culmen 17, wing 181, tail 

 134, middle toe and claw 36. 



Habitat. Central Peru to Bolivia. 



The type, which is in the British Museum, was collected 

 by the late Clarence Buckley at Mapiri in Bolivia. 



The specimen from Chancharaayo was presented to the 

 British Museum by Count Branicki in 1892 with the name 

 " C. andicola Berl. & Stolzm.'^ written on the label. 1 have 

 searched for the description in Berlepsch and StoJzmanu's 

 papers on Kalinowski's collection, but failed to find it. I 

 am using the name, however, with the hope that the 

 description will come to light.
