Todd-Caeriker : Birds of Santa Marta Region, Colombia. 257 



the rich coppery or bronzy gloss of the tail and wing-coverts, more or 

 less obvious in adults of both sexes. It was discovered by Simons at 

 Manaure, near the foot of the Eastern Andes, and encountered later 

 at various points on the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada. Mr. 

 Brown found it on the north slope also, as well as in the foothills back 

 of Santa Marta, while Mr. Smith sent in two specimens labelled as 

 coming from Bonda. According to the experience of the writer it 

 seems to range over the whole of the region between 2,000 and 5,000 

 feet, straggling a little lower down in the foothills back of Santa 

 Marta. It is not common anywhere, however, and frequents shrub- 

 bery alpng roadsides, the edges of woodland, etc.

Five specimens : Mamatoco and Fonseca. 



The two adult males from Bonda sent in by Mr. Smith are apparently 

 correctly identified. The Mam'atoco skins, both females, are referred 

 here, provisionally, mainly on geographical grounds. The true home 

 of the present species is the lower Magdalena Valley, the Santa Marta 

 region being on the edge of its range. Dr. Chapman has recently pro- 

 posed to substitute Bonda as the type-locality, but Reichenbach dis- 

 tinctly gives Carthagena as such. Carthagena is also the assigned 

 type-locality for Trochilus chrysogaster Bourcier {Revue Zoologique, 

 1843, loi), which has been synonymized with Chlorostilbon gibsoni, 

 apparently on the strength of Gould's and Salvin's statements that 

 they had compared Bourcier's type (now in the British Museum col-
