Although I think it very probable that E. chiriquensis Lawr., 

 is the sauiH as E. albivertex Pelz., I am unwilling to alter the 

 name of this species [chiriquensis being the older name) 

 before having examined the type in the United States National 

 Museum, Washington. 



Sj^ecimens from Costa Rica differ somewhat from the birds 

 inhabiting Chiriqni, Panama (railway-line), and South 

 America, in being much more greenish on the upperparts and 

 the breast, and in having the belly of a rather purer and 

 deeper yellow. They are, perhaps, entitled to receive a new 

 name, but some of the Costa Rica specimens are hardly to be 

 distinguished from the ordinary type of E. albivertex from 

 S. America. 



Topotypical specimens of E. sororia Bangs, from Santa 

 Marta, and E. sordidata Bangs, from San Miguel Island, kindly 

 j:>resented to me by Mr. Outram Bangs, I cannot distinguish 

 from others from Bogota, Minas Geraes, andYpanema, S. Paulo 

 (Pelzelus type specimen). As a rule the San Miguel birds 

 have the bills a little stronger, but some Bogota specimens 

 are not different in this respect. There is no difference 

 whatever in coloration. 



1 An Orinoco specimen not sent for my inspection when working out the birds 

 of that region, proves to belong to E. albivertex, not mentioned in the Orinoco 

 article. 



- Mr. Hellmayr tells me that duplicate specimens from Chapada, sent to the 

 British Museum by the American Museum of Natural History of New York., 

 partly belong to E. flavogaster and partly to E. albivertex. 



3 A specimen in very worn plumage.
