One of the commoner winter visitants, arriving in October (Fun- 

 dacion, October 14, 1915), and remaining until April (Valparaiso, 

 April 4, 1899). It keeps to the highlands as a rule, but is occasionally ' 

 seen in the lowlands, especially where there is forest, to which it is 

 always partial. 



434. Vermivora pinus (Linnseus). 



Helminthophila pinus Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XIII, 1899, 105 

 (Chirua). — Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 178 (Bangs' ref- 

 erence). — Allen, Auk, XVII, 1900, 367 (Chirua, ex Bangs). — Ridgway, Bull. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, II, 1902, 455 (Chirua, in range). — Cooke, Bull. 

 Biol. Survey, No. 18, 1904, 32 (Chirua, ex Bangs). 



The only South American record for this species pertains to a 

 specimen shot at Chirua by Mr. Brown on March 21, 1899. Ordinarily 

 it does not appear to go much beyond Guatemala in the winter season 

 so that the record can scarcely be regarded as being other than that 

 of a straggler. 



435- Vermivora chrysoptera (Linnseus). 



Helminthophaga chrysoptera Salvin and Godman, Ibis, 1880, 117 (Minca). 



Helminthophila chrysoptera Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., X, 1885, 639 

 (Minca). — Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XII, 1898, 160 (Pueblo 

 Viejo). — ^Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., XIII, 1900, 178 (Bonda and Las 

 Nubes). — Allen, Auk, XVII, 1900, 367 (Bonda and Las Nubes; Minca, ex 

 Salvin and Godman; Pueblo Viejo, ex Bangs). — Cooke, Bull. Biol. Survey, 

 No. 18, 1904, 35 (Santa Marta localities and references). 



Three specimens : Las Nubes and Chirua. 



This appears to be a rare winter visitor, more partial to the forests 

 of the highlands than to those of the coastal plain. It was recorded
