I shall conclude with notes on some of the more interesting of 
the foregoing species by Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Assistant 
Curator of the Department of Ornithology and Mammalogy in 
the American Museum of Natural History, and with a few anno- 
tations. I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Chapman for his 
kindness in looking over the collection and in making the notes 
which follow. 
Catharus aurantiirostris (Hartlaub). This very interesting bird was 
found at San Antonio and at Caripe but it was by no means common. 
It seems out of place in the tropics, where most birds are such weak 
singers, for it has a song which for sweetness rivals that of any of our 
Thrushes. It is very high and musical, and is heard only along some 
stream in the deepest woods of the mountain sides. 
[Thryophilus rufalbus cumanensis (Licht). 
Troglodytes cumanensts LicuHt. Nomencl. Av. 1854, 34. 
Thryophilus rufalbus castanotus RipGw. Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H., XIII, 
1888, p. 386. 
Four adults have slightly smaller bills than two Panama specimens, 
labelled by Mr. Ridgway Thryophzlus rufalbus castanotus, but in other 
respects closely agree with them. 
Lichenstein’s type of cwmanens’s came from Cartagena and as speci- 
mens from both east and west of the type locality agree with each other 
it is more than probable that they would also resemble the type. I have 
therefore taken the name of cumanenszs for the southern form of Thryo- 
philus rufalbus.— F. M. C.] 
Very common in the underbrush in the bamboo woods of the Cuma- 
nacoa valley.
