Todd-Carriker : Birds of Santa Marta Region, Colombia. 351 



corded by Dr. Allen, as above, Mr. Smith sent' in another later, taken 

 at Las Nubes, December 21, 1898, and one to the Carnegie Museum 

 from Onaca, December 26 of the same year. At the time these birds 

 were taken they were the only Colombian records, but the species is 

 now known to range in winter through that country, west of the 

 Central Andes, into western Ecuador. 



304. Myiophobus f asciatus fasciatus (MuUer). 



Myiobius ntevius Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XII, 1898, 158 (Pueblo 



Viejo), 176 (Palomina; plumage). — Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist, XIII, 



1900, 14s (Minca). 



Additional records: San Francisco, La Concepcion (Brown). 



Three specimens : Cincinnati, Pueblo Viejo, and Chirua. 



These are quite indistinguishable from topotypical Cayenne speci- 

 mens. Two have the crown-spot almost wholly orange rufous, while 

 in the third it is pure lemon yellow. 



A rare bird in this region. Mr. Brown got a few specimens at cer- 

 tain points in the Sierra Nevada, while Mr. Smith sent in but one, 

 collected at Minca. By the writer it has been met with on but three 

 occasions, one having been taken at Cincinnati, in some newly cleared 

 land at about 3,500 feet, another near Pueblo Viejo in some shrubbery 

 beside the trail at about 2,500 feet, and a third at Chirua under the 

 same conditions at about 3,000 feet. It is thus confined to the Pied- 

 mont belt of the Tropical Zone. 



305; Empidochanes fuscatus cabanisi (Leotaud). 



Empidochanes cabanisi Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 144 



([Playa] Concha, Bonda, and Valparaiso). ^ 



Empidochanes fuscatus cabanisi von Berlepsch and. Hellmayr, Journ. f. 



Orn., LIII, 1905, 21 ("Santa Marta,'' in range). 



Eleven specimens : Bonda, Mamatoco, DibuUa, Fundacion, and Va- 

 lencia. 



With no specimens of true E. fuscatus available for comparison at 

 the present writing, it is not possible to decide independently as to the 

 proper status of the present form, so that we follow Messrs. von 

 Berlepsch and Hellmayr in keeping it as a subspecies. There is con- 

 siderable seasonal variation evident in the series, October specimens 

 being richer brown above and brighter yellow below than those shot 

 in April.
