BIRDS OF WESTERN COLOMBIA. 1143 



Cbyavetns, N. Peru. The back, upper wing- and tail-coverts are 

 pale pearl-grey, the basal half of the rectrices greyish white, the 

 remaining portion black with a distinct white apical margin, the 

 ear-coverts white, etc., exactly as in the skins from Manaos and 

 Peru. 



T. huckleyi Sal v. k Godm. * from Eastern Ecuador, the type 

 of which I have examined in the British Museum, may be 

 distinguished by the paler, nearly white colour of the upper wing- 

 coverts and rump, by having the white in the tail confined 

 to the extreme base of the outer web of the external rectrices, 

 etc. etc.

Identical with skins from N.W. Ecuador, province of 

 Esmeraldas, 



This species ranges from Panama (Railroad) and Santa Marta 

 in the north through Western Colombia and Western Ecuador 

 to N.W. Peru (Lechugal, district of'Tumbez) f.

Pachyrhaviphus dorsalis Sclater, Cat. Amer. B. p. 243 (1862. — ■

* Biol.-Ceiitr, Amer., Aves, ii. p. 120 (Dec. 1890. — Yaiiayacu, Ecuador). 



t The locality " Saraj^acju," East Ecuador, is undoubtedly incorrect. I have, on 

 several occasions, alluded to the fact that Buckley's localities cannot be relied upon, 

 collections from the western and eastern slopes of the Andes having been mixed 

 up and almost invariably labelled " Saraya^u." 



X I have examined the type in the British Museum. It is an undoubted Bogota 

 skin.
