I agree with Mons. Simon* that the earliest available name 

 for the small, dark-coloured fonn of the Pacific coast is the one 

 given above. I am unable to find any constant differences, either 

 in size or in colour, between examples from N.W. Ecuador and 

 W. Colombia, on the one hand, or those from Central America on 

 the other. The uniform cinnamon- brown colour of the under 

 parts is by no means a constant character of the Western birds, 

 as already pointed out by Mr. Oberholser t. 



G. h. cenea ranges from Costa Rica and Panama south to 

 N.W. Ecuador (province of Esmeraldas).
