BIRDS OF WESTERN COLOMBIA, 1191 



Examined : Two males and two females, Costa Rica (Tring 

 Museum), four males and one female, Chiriqui (Tring and 

 Munich Museums). 



N.B. — An adult male in bad condition, said to be from San 

 Esteban, Venezuela, in the British Museum differs merely in 

 having the breast more strongly tinged with brown. The locality 

 is most probably eri'oneous.

Adult. Much like P. o.Jlavotinctus, but chest olivaceous as in 

 P. 0. olivaceus, and adult males with tips of feathers on forehead 

 much paler, cadmium yellow (E.idgw\ pi. vi. fig. 6). 



Hah. Western Ecuador, from vsea-level up to 3500 feet.

 and Munich Museums. 



{d) P. OLIVACEUS GRANADENSIS Lafr. 



Synonymy, see above. 



Tyi^e from Cali, "W. Colombia. 



Adidt. Differs at once from the three preceding races in having 

 the back light olive-grey or pale smoky-grey (without greenish 

 or brownish suffusion) and the under parts creamy-white, nearly 

 uniform, with but a few obsolete dusky streaks on the flanks, and 

 the foreneck very slightly tinged with dull greyish. Edges of the 

 quills creamy white, instead of olivaceous or olive-yellow. Tips 

 of feathers on forehead in adult males even paler than in 

 P. 0. harterti, "chrome-yellow" (Ridgw. pi. vi. fig. 8.) 



Hah. Western Cordillera of Colombia • Cali (Belatire), Rio 

 Dagua {Rosenberg), Naranjito (Palmer) ; Primavera, San Isidro, 

 Media Luna {Raap) ; San Antonio (Fassl) ; Medellin, Antioquia 

 [Salmon). 



Ohs. In addition to the specimens enumerated above I 

 examined a couple from Medellin [Salmon) in the British MuseTun 

 and found them to agree. One of the Dagua examples [Rosenherg) 

 is rather more brownish grey above than the others, thereby 

 forming the passage to P. o. harterti.
