Santa Marta, ¢, 19th February, 1879. “Iris reddish 
brown.” 
A specimen of this bird agrees accurately with the paler 
and more olive-coloured birds frequently found along with the 
typical T. grayi in Central America, especially in Costa Rica. 
These we now consider to be specifically inseparable from that 
bird, and therefore unite T. luridus with it. 
Minus eitvus, Vieill. 
Santa Marta, 9, 2nd April, 1879. ‘Iris bronze-green. 
A favourite songster here, its notes being more harmonious 
than those of the Trupial.” 
Precisely like Colombian and Central-American specimens, 
but differing slightly from the Venezuelan bird in the lght 
markings of the wing-coverts (¢f. Salv. & Godm. Biol. Centr. 
Am. Aves, 1. p. 36). 3

Valencia, 24th May, 1879. ¢ “iris bright chrome-yel- 
low,” 2 “yellowish.” 
These birds agree fairly with Bogota examples, which we 
have recently (/. s. c.) decided to be inseparable from the 
species from Western Mexico described under this name. 
The outer rectrices have perhaps rather more black at the base ; 
so that the bird thus approaches the Brazilian P. leucogastra 
rather than the Guiana P. buffoni, which has the outer rec- 
trices almost entirely white. 
CAMPYLORHYNCHUS GRISEUS (Sw.). 
Santa Marta, ¢?, 13th December, 1878. “Iris brown. 
Very common here, being a noisy bird and very lively, balan- 
cing itself on twigs by its tail. Have not seen it elsewhere.” 
Agrees with Venezuelan examples obtained by Goering 
(Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 783). 
THRYOPHILUS RUFALBUS (Lafr). 
Minea (2000 ft.), ¢, 16th January,1879. ‘Tris yellowish 
brown.” 
Agrees with Panama specimens.
