Footnote — Continued. 



Specimens from Santa Marta, Colombia, and Cana, Darien, are the darkest of the 

 entire series, while examples from the Cauca Valley, western Colombia, are not 

 different, that I can see, from birds from Costa Rica, etc. It is possible that a 

 sufficient series of specimens from northern South America may show that true 

 C. inrgata (a darker bird) is restricted to Venezuela, northern Colombia, and the 

 extreme eastern end of the Isthmiw of Panama; in which case the Central American 

 bird would have to be called Ciccaba virgata lineata, Symium lineatum Lawrence 

 having been based on specimens from Lion Hill, Canal Zone. The lighter colored 

 phase, with whitish, extensively striped, under parts, is relatively more numerous 

 northward, especially in southeastern Mexico, where specimens incline toward C. v. 

 squamulata and C. v. tamaulipertsis. 



a I have not seen specimens from these localities and countries.
