 Chrysotis inornata Sal v ad., Cat. Bds. B. M., XX, 1891, p. 281, (Veragua). 



Two specimens from the Atrato Valley and one from the head of the 

 Meta. The former are typical; the latter is somewhat darker and the un- 

 derparts especially are more glaucous. Other, but not wholly satisfactory 

 material, indicates that the characters shown by our Meta specimen are 

 probably of racial value.
