Two adult males from Bogota collections: Wing 75, 76; tail 

 53, 54 ; bill 10^, 11 mm. 



Remarks. — These fifteen examples difFer very conspicuously 

 from C. g. bangsi in the characters given above. The three from 

 the upper Rio Negro and one from the Putumayo have tlie head 

 of a deep chestnut -brown (instead of cinnamon-rufous) colour, but 

 the second specimen from the Rio Putumayo and the two Bogota 

 skins agree with the Peruvian ones. The dimensions are also 

 rather variable, though apparently not connected with any 

 particular geographical area. 



I have named this well-characterized new form after my wife, 

 who takes considerable interest in ornithology and has materially 

 helped me in the preparation of this report.
