(969) Streptoprocne zonaris albicincta (Cab.). 



Hemiprocne albicincta Cab., J. f. O., 1862, p. 165 (Guiana = "Mexico bis 

 Guiana"). 



Hemiprocne zonaris Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 531 (Concordia; Retiro; 

 breeds); Stone, Proc. Acad. N. S. Phila., 1899, p. 305 (near Ambalema); Allen, 

 Bull. A. M. N. H., XIII, 1900, p. 137 (Sta. Marta). 



This deeply colored, blue-black Swift inhabits the Tropical Zone of 

 Colombia ranging upward into the Subtropical Zone. I have seen no Guiana 

 specimens, but it is not probable that they differ materially from the lowland 

 form of Colombia. Should the Colombia bird prove to be distinct, it should 

 stand as S. z. minor (Lawr.), the type of which in the American Museum 

 agrees with the lowland form.

(976) Cheetura spinicauda fumosa Salv. 



ChcBtura fumosa Salv., P. Z. S., 1870, p. 204 (Bugaba, Chiriqui); Wtatt, Ibis, 

 1871, p. 375 (Naranjo). 



Found only in the Tropical Zone of the Pacific Coast and lower Cauca. 



In the color of the rump and upper tail-coverts four males agree with 

 five others in the Carnegie Museum from Pozo Azul, Costa Rica, but they 

 average slightly greener above and are larger, as the appended measure- 

 ments show. Possibly the Colombian bird deserves separation.

(977) Chaetura cinereiventris sclateri Pelz. 

 Chcetura sclateri Pelz., Orn. Bras., I, 1868, p. 56 (Borba, R. Madeira). 



A male from Buena Vista, above Villa vicencio, measures, wing, 107; 

 tail, 39 mm. It therefore agrees in size with sclateri (which has been re- 

 corded from e. Ecuador, cf. Hellm. Orn. Gesell. Bayern, VIII, 1908, p. 157) 

 which, so far as one can judge from descriptions, it also resembles in color, 

 the belly and rump being grayer than specimens from the Central Andes, 

 identified as C c. occidentalis.
