Specimens from the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast, from San Jose, 

 agree with Veragua examples in having the rectrices broadly tipped with 

 white.

Eutoxeres baroni Hakt. & Hart., Nov. Zool., I, 1894, p. 54 (Rio Pescado, w. 

 Ecuador). 



Tropical Zone of southwestern Colombia, south of San Jose and south- 

 ward into Ecuador. A specimen from Cocal has the white tips of the rec- 

 trices reduced to the minimum, and evidently represents the type of colora- 

 tion to which Hartert (Z. c.) applied the name baroni. I agree with Salvad. 

 & Festa, however (Boll. Mus. Tor., XV, 1900, No. 368, p. 2) that the char- 

 acters assigned to this form are not of specific value. We have specimens 

 with a maximum and minimum, and intermediate amount of white from the 

 same locality (Rio de Oro, Manavi, Ecuador), a variability which I believe 

 to be individual or attributable to age rather than to race.

(1050) Campylopterus obscurus sequatorialis Gould. 

 Campylopterus cequatorialis Gottld, Introd. Trochil., 1861, p. 54 (Quito). 



Occurs in Amazonian Colombia. The type doubtless came from the 

 Napo region. I have seen no specimens of true obscurus and follow Hell- 

 mayr's form of recognition for the Ecuadorian bird {cf. Nov. Zool., 1906, 

 p. 375).

(1052) Campylopterus falcatus (Swains.).

 east Venezuela, cf. Hellm. & von Seilbrn, Archiv fiir Naturg., 1912, p. 138). 



Our specimens are from the upper border of the Tropical Zone in all 

 three ranges. Hellmayr {I. c.) has shown that Vieillot's " TrochiLus lazulus" 

 is not applicable to this species.
