I 2O Bulletin American Museum of Natural History. [Vol. XIII, 



Godman collection given passim in the various volumes of the 

 * Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum,' making a total 

 of 162. Of this number 21 still rest on the authority of the 

 Simons collection, being unrepresented in either the Brown or 

 Smith collections. The following species were described as new : 



1. Campylopterus phainopeplus. 5. Basileuterus conspicillatus = B. 



2. Ramphomicron dorsale. cinereicollis Sclater. 



3. Oxypogon cyanolaemus. * 6. Poecilothraupis melanogenys. 



4. Ochthceca poliogastra. 7. Buarremon melanocephalus. 



The second is the fine collection of about 2500 specimens made 

 by Mr. Brown for the Bangs Brothers of Boston, in 1897-99, and re- 

 ported upon by Mr. O. Bangs in the series of papers already cited, 

 and which, it is to be hoped, will be followed by a general paper 

 embodying the collector's field notes. Mr. Bangs appears to have 

 recorded 242 species and subspecies, of which 40, and one genus, 

 were described as new. While many of these new forms were 

 now for the first time made known from the region, others are 

 simply new names for species previously recorded by Salvin and 

 Godman, the large amount of material now available for compar- 

 ison showing them to be local forms entitled to subspecific recog- 

 nition. In nearly all cases the abundant material in the Smith 

 collection, in so far as such forms are represented in it, confirms 

 Mr. Bangs's conclusions. As Mr. Brown collected extensively 

 at altitudes above the points Mr. Smith has thus far reached, 

 quite a number of Mr. Bangs's new forms are unrepresented in 

 the Smith collection. The Brown collection contained 121 

 species not obtained by Simons, raising the number of species 

 definitely known from the Santa Marta region to 283. Of this 

 number 36 rest thus far solely on the authority of the Brown col- 

 lection. Following is a list of the new forms, with their equiva- 

 lents in the Salvin-Godman paper, so far as they are there 

 represented : 



1. Neocrex columbianus. 5. Pharomacrus festatus = P. ful- 



2. Geotrygon linearis infusca. gidens. 



3. Aulacorhamphus lautus = A. al- 6. Melanerpes wagleri sanctoe- 



bivittatus. martae =Centurus tricolor. 



4. Galbula ruficauda pallida = G. 7. Acestrura astreans A. mul- 



ruficauda. santi.
