Tangara aurulenta goodsoni, subsp. n. 



Similar to Tangara (Calliste auct.) a. aurulenta from Colom- 

 bia, but the crown is of a paler golden-yellow, the edges to the 

 feathers of the back lighter ; the rump golden-green, instead 

 of orange or brownish-orange ; and the underside lighter 

 and of a less brownish-orange. Size similar.

Obs. All specimens with exact localities, i. e. from Antio- 

 quia and Cauca Valley, from Colombia, and nearly all 

 Bogota" skins are darker, while fifteen skins from W. Ecuador 

 differ from them as described above. Similar differences 

 have already been noticed by Mr. Hellmayr (cf. P. Z. S. 

 1911, p. 1103). Among our Bogota skins there are two 

 which are similar to our new subspecies ; Ave know, however, 

 of several other instances of subspecies not found together 

 occurring occasionally among the skins exported from 

 Bogota. 



This new form has been named after Mr. Arthur Goodson, 

 who first noticed the differences while arranging the Tana- 

 gridse in the Tring Museum. 



FrINGILLA C03LEBS OMBRIOSA, Subsp. n. 



The Chaffinch inhabiting the island of Hierro (Ferro), in 

 the Canary group, has hitherto been united with F. c. palmce, 

 from Palma, but it differs from the latter in having the 

 rump washed with green. The under -surface is also inter- 

 mediate in colour between that of F. c. pahnce and F. c. 

 canariensis, but generally more like that of the former, 

 though the vinous-buff colour, as a rule, extends further 

 down the sides of the breast.
