Richardson secured a male of this species at San Antonio. It differs 

 from ten Ecuadorian examples, in having the red pectoral band twice as 

 broad, and less clearly defined from the red of the abdominal region.

This is a species of the Tropical Zone of the Pacific and eastward through 

 Antioquia to the Magdalena. It also ranges up the Western and Central 

 Andes to the Subtropical Zone. In the Pacific coast region this bird occurs 

 with Ramphastos amhicjuus abbreviatus (Cab.). Aside from their larger 

 size, our nineteen specimens of swainsoni have (in the dried skin) the basal 

 and lateral areas of the bill with more or less red or buffy olive tinged with 

 red, or with usually some indication of red at the posterior margin ; whereas, 

 eleven specimens of abbreviatus have the same part of the bill black without 

 a trace of red.

Based on a colored drawing of a specimen from an unknown locality, by 

 an imknown artist, this species was subsequently recognized as coming from 

 the Bogota region by Gould (Monog. Ramphast., 2d. ed., pi. v), and I there- 

 fore suggest Buena Vista, whence have come many 'Bogota' skins, as an 

 appropriate type-locality. The species occurs, however, not only on the
