the female of that race; the upperparts rather light Saccordo's umber, practically 

 without trace of vinaoeous, except upon the rump and upper tail-coverts where it is 

 much less pronounced than in C. r. rufipennis; the crown usually concolor with the 

 back; the rectrices, upper wing-coverts and inner wing-feathers externally, the under- 

 parts, particularly the flanks and lower tail-coverts, with less vinaceous-tawny than 

 in C. r. rufi 



Our specimens of this well-marked race are all from the Cauca Valley 

 and the surrounding mountain slopes up to the lower border of the Subtropi- 

 cal Zone. This appears to form the southern limit of the range of this 

 species in western South America.

Claravis pretiosa Allen, Bull. A. M. N. H., XIII, 1900, p. 128 (Minca; 

 Cacagualito; Mamatoca; Santa Marta). 



Apparently distributed throughout the Tropical Zone. It is common 

 in the Cauca Valley though we did not happen to collect specimens there. 

 The characters on which this race is based appear to be more pronounced 

 in the female than in the male.

Common in the Tropical Zone in the entire Magdalena Valley region, 

 northward to the coast and westward apparently to the lower Atrato region. 

 Doubtless it occurs at the eastern base of the Eastern Andes, but we did 

 not obtain it there.
