near sea-level at Bonda up to Cincinnati at 4,000 feet, but it would 

 seem to be more numerous in the foothills than lower down. The 

 specimen secured at Cincinnati was shot in the open country. 



31. Rostrhamus sociabilis (Vieillot). 



Rostrhamus sociabilis Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 131 

 (Bonda). 



A young bird, taken by Mr. ' Smith's collector at Bonda, August 22, 

 1898 (or 1899), is the only record of the Everglade Kite for this re- 

 gion, although the species is well known to have an extensive dis- 

 tribution in tropical America. 



32. Geranospiza caerulescens (Vieillot). 



Geranospizias carulescens Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 130 

 (Bonda). 



Eight specimens : Bonda, Mamatoco, Guairaca, and Fundacion. 



This is a Guiana species, which reaches its western limit in the 

 Caribbean coast region of Colombia, being unknown in any other part 

 of that country. In Central America it is replaced by an allied but 

 perfectly distinct form, Geranospiza nigra (Du Bus). It seems to be 

 a rare bird, and recorded only from the Tropical Zone lowlands. Mr. 

 Smith sent in no less than nine specimens, collected at Bonda, Mama- 

 toco, and Guairaca, while the writer took one at Fundacion. It is 

 found in the forest.

 Accipiter tinus (not Falco tinus Latham) Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist.,

 Accipiter superciliosus exitiosus Bangs and Penard, Proc. New England 



Zoological Club, VII, 1920, 45 ("Santa Marta"). 



Mr. Smith sent in a single specimen of this diminutive hawk from 

 Las' Nubes, in the Subtropical Zone, shot December 19, 1898. It is in 

 the rufous (immature) plumage, and is probably a female. It was a 

 bird in this plumage which constituted the type of Bonaparte's Accip- 

 iter fontainieri, a species described without any locality being speci- 

 fied, but which almost certainly came from the Santa Marta region, 

 since it was said to have been received from M. Fontainier, whose
