These specimens, as well as several others from North-western 

 Ecuador (Bulun, Carondelet), have the bill slightly deeper and 

 stouter than typical birds from Panama. The culmen, how- 

 ever, is not more strongly arched. I must confess I am not 

 very (confident as to the distinctness of this race and should not 

 be surprised if a larger series would show it to be inseparable 

 from D. I. lachrymosa. D. I. rostrata, if really distinguishable, 

 ranges from N.W. Colombia (Rio Truando) along the Pacific coast 

 southwards to the north-western portion of Ecuador. It is found 

 only in the lowlands and on the hill-slopes.

* Tlie locality " Bolivia " is certainly a mistake, for in Mao;. Zool. 1843, Oiseaux, 

 pi. 32, Lafresnave expressly says : " vieiit de Santa-Fe-de-Bogota." This statement 

 is repeated in Rev. Mag. Zool. (2) ii. 1850, p. 419, in the French text, while the 

 Latin diagnosis (a verbatim reprint of the original account) terminates with the 

 indication: "habitat in Bolivia." Moreover, at that time, Bogota skins reached 

 Paris in large numbers, whereas material from Bolivia was very scarce m European 

 Museums. In fact, D'Orbigny was the only naturalist to send collections from that 

 country, but he did not obtain the species in question.
