Specimens of a Phcenicothraupis purporting to come from Santa Marta, and 

 bearing the name erythrolama, in Bonaparte's handwriting, were referred to 

 by Sclater in 1856, and provisionally described by him a few years later. They 

 were presently identified as P. fuscicauda Cabanis, a Central American species, 

 but more recently Sclater's name has been revived to apply to the Panama form 

 of the species. This action was based on a reexamination of Sclater's type, 

 now in the collection of the British Museum. As intimated by Messrs. Thayer 

 and Bangs in discussing this matter, it is exceedingly doubtful if the type really 

 came from Santa Marta. In view of the thorough work done in this section 

 by Messrs. Smith, Brown, and Carriker, all of whom failed to find any species 

 of this group there, and in consideration of the fact that an entirely distinct 

 species, H. rubiginosa,*^ occupies an intervening area on the north coast of 

 Colombia, it seems practically certain that the original locality ascribed to 

 erythrolama must have been erroneous. 



Seiricossypha albocristata (Laf resnaye) . 



Lamprotes albicristatus Sclater, Proc. Z06I. Soc. London, 1856, 121 (" Santa 



Marta "). 



This is an Andean species, attributed to this region by Sclater, on the 

 strength of a specimen said to have been collected by Fontainier, and de- 

 posited in the Paris Museum. Additional evidence will be required before 

 the record can be accepted.
