 : Mr. Kidgway's name for this bird is taken from the character of the spots on the 

 throat, whiph are nearly round and situated at the end of the feather. AIL our Gosta- 

 Rican and Panama specimens have this character, which is also to be found in some, 

 but not all, examples of D. erythropifgia, the exceptions haying the throat-feathers 

 edged rather than spotted with olive. The best character by which to distinguish; 

 1). punctigula is its nearly uniform unspotted crown and the almost total absence of 

 ^orsal, streaks. An Ecuador specimen has this coloration, and belongs, we do not doubt, 

 to the race described by Graf v, Berlepsch and Taczanowski as Dendrornis erythropygia 

 oeguatorialis. This example is not separable from others from the State of Panama, 

 referable to D. punctigula of Eidg way . According to Mr. Elliot ^, the specimen obtained 

 by Mr. W. S. Wood, jun., during Lieut. Michler's Darien Expedition, and referred by 

 Cassin to D. triangularis'^, belongs here, and not to the true B. erythropygia, which 

 occurs on the Isthmus of Panama.
