V. de Chiriqui. 
This appears to be a rare species, as none of the collectors of the 
Smithsonian Institution have yet met with it. When in Costa Rica, 
Arcé was fortunate enough to obiain two specimens in the Volean de 
Cartago ; these are the only others have seen. With the exception 
of the tarsi and toes being rather stronger, Pezopetes does not differ 
from Buarremon, in which genus it might be very properly included.

Spermophiia semicollaris. 
Bugaba. 
A specimen from this locality is without the white collar across 
the throat ; others, from Calovevora, Chitra, and Mina de Chorcha, 
have this collar, but to a variable extent: I suppose these last 
should be called §. collaris, Lawr. One of the Chitra specimens has 
the rump quite white. Judging from seven specimens before me, 
and seeing that the amount of white forming the collaris variable, I 
find great difficulty in assigning my specimens to the species described 
by Mr. Lawrence as Spermophila hicksi, S. semicollaris, §. collaris, 
and S. fortipes, ail of which are found on the Panama Railway-line 
or at Chiriqui. Concise diagnostic characters of these four birds 
would be useful, and would afford a better opportunity of judging
