" Ii'is dark brown, feet grey, bill black." 



The Munich Zoological Museum also possesses an adult male 

 from Rio Lima, 5000 ft., taken in August 1898 by the late 

 J. H. Batty. 



The birds from Western Colombia are in every respect similar 

 to others from Bogotd and Western Ecuador in our collection.* 



G. r. ruficerinx is found only in Colombia (Western Cordillera 

 and Bogota-coll.) anrl Western Ecuador (Pallatanga, Cayandeled), 

 living at rather high altitudes. In Eastern Ecuador (Machay, 

 Napo) it is representerl by the well-characterized C. r. taylori 

 Tacz. & Berl. f, while, in Peru and Northern Bolivia, C. r. fulvi- 

 cervix Scl. & Salv. J takes its place. Of this last-named 

 form, the Munich Museum possesses specimens obtained by 

 Mons. G. A. Baer at Nuevo Loreto, Northern Peru, in June 

 1900.
