BIRDS OF WESTERN COLOMBIA. 1103 



No. 3747. 2 ad. Pueblo Rico : 5200 ft., 10.ix.09.— Wing 

 73 ; tail 48; bill 10 mm. 



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



We have also several specimens from Rio Lima, 6000 ft., 

 collected by the late J. H. Batty in August 1898. They agree 

 perfectly with typical Bogota skins, while birds from Western 

 Ecuador are generally slightly paler on the head and belly. 



C. auridenta sclateri Lafr. replaces it in the Eastern Cordillera 

 of Colombia. It is known to me only from Bogota specimens.

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



Agreeing with- specimens from Ecuador and Chiriqui. C. ictero- 

 cephala has a wide range, extending from Costa Rica to Western 

 Ecuador. I am unable to detect differences, either in size or in 

 colour, between skins from various localities.
