Paillon, near Buenaventuxu, Choco, W. Colombia) ; Sclater, Ibis, 

 1901, p. 597, pi. xii. fig. 2 (Paramba, N.W. Ecuador). 



No. 2698. c^ ad. Tado, 7.vi.09.— Wing 73 ; tail 50 ; bill 

 lOg mm. 



No. 2388. $ ad. Novita : 10.xii.08.— Wing 67; tail 46; 

 bill 10 mm. 



No. 2589. (? juv. Condoto: 10.iv.09.— Wing 71^ ; tail 49 ; 

 bill 9 mm. 



" Iris dark brown, feet dark grey, bill black." 



Two more specimens, a female and an immature bird, sex not 

 determined, from Tado, June 1909, are in Mr. Rosenberg's 

 possession. 



There is very little difference between male and female, except 

 that the latter is rather smaller and not quite so bright on the 

 head and breast. The young bird lacks the golden hue on the 

 green portions of the plumage, the black of the head and throat 

 is much duller, and the beautiful golden yellow rump of the advilts 

 is but faintly indicated by a small patch of dull yellow. 



C. johannce is another species peculiar to the humid forest 

 region of the Pacific coast. Besides the above specimens, and 

 the type (now in the Tring Museum), the only other examples 

 on record are two from Paramba, N.W. Ecuador, procured by 

 one of Mr. Rosenberg's coi-respondents*.

No. 2797. 5 ad. La Selva : 4600 ft., 15.X.09.— Wing 65; 

 tail 44; bill 10 mm. 



" Iris dark brown, feet blue-grey, maxilla black, mandible 

 blue." 



This bird is identical with typical specimens from Ecuador. 



La Selva is the most northerly locality for G. rufigida yet known, 

 though an example had already been taken by Mr. Lehmann at 

 Pasto in Southern Colombia, near the Ecuadorian frontier.
