PiCUMNUS OLIVACEUS HARTERTI, Subsp. n. 



P. 0. granadensis, Hartert (nee Lafr.), Nov. Zool. ix. p. 606 

 (1902: Western Eeuad or). 



Adult male. Similar to P. o.flavotinctus, Ridgw., from Costa 

 Rica and Chiriqui, and, like that species, has the back dull 

 brownish-olive, the edges of the quills olive-yellow, and the 

 breast and belly pale yellowish with distinct dusky shaft- 

 stripes, but differs in having the chest strongly washed with 

 brownish as in P. o. olivaceus, Lafr., from Bogota. In the 

 adult males the feathers of the crown are tipped with 

 cadmium-yellow (dull orange in P. o. flavotinctus, scarlet 

 in P. 0. olivaceus). Wing 54 mm. ; tail 30^. 



Hab. Western Ecuador : Nanegal, Babahoyo [Fraser) ; 

 Chimbo {Slolzmann, Rosenberg) ; Yaguachi {Stolzmanti) ; 

 Vinces (Festa) ; S. Domingo (GoodfeUow and Hamilton) y 

 Paramba, Pambilar {Miketta and Flemming). 



Type in the Tring Museum: No. 650, ^. Paramba, 

 N.W. Ecuador, 22. xi. 99. 



Obs. P. 0. granadensis, Lafr., with which the new form has 

 often been confounded, may be at once distinguished by its 

 clear olive-grey upperparts (without any brownish tinge) 

 and by its nearly uniform creamy-white under surface with 

 only a few narrow dusky streaks on the flanks. The tips 

 of the feathers of the crown are chrome-yellow (Ridgw. 

 Nomencl. pi. vi. fig. 8), even paler than in P. o. harterti. The 

 Tring Museum possesses a series of P. o. granadensis from 

 Western Colombia : Primavera, San Isidro, Media Luna 

 (Raap), Rio Dagua (Rosenberg) ; and the British Museum has 

 two specimens from Medellin, Antioquia (Salmon). 



Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant exhibited a new species of Fruit- 

 Pigeon procured by Dr. J. J. Vassal at Nhatrang, in Annam? 

 and described it as follows : — 



Crocopus annamensis, sp. n. 



Crocopus viridifrons, Salvad. (nee Blyth) Cat. Birds B. M. 

 xxi. p. 28 0893) [specimen h']. 



Adult. Similar to C. phoenicopterus (Lath.), but the hind- 

 neck is dull brownish-olive, and the fore-ueck and chest dull
