Our specimens from the Subtropical Zone of the Eastern Andes, agree 

 on the whole with a male from Yungas, Bolivia, and a female from Inca 

 Mine, southeast Peru, which may be considered as typical of fumigatus. A 

 female from Buena Vista, our only specimen from the eastern slope of the 

 Eastern Andes, is considerably darker than any other bird in our series.

Veniliornis oleaginus aureus Chapm., Bull. A. M. N. H., XXXIII, 1914, p. 612 

 (Central Andes south of Popayan, Col.). 



Char, suhsp. — Similar to V. o. fumigatus, but back richer, more golden, auricular 

 region averaging paler, wing averaging shorter, bill longer; resembling V. o. sanguino- 

 lentus in general color but wings and their coverts externally with less golden wash, 

 more as in fumigatus; white spots on wing-quills larger, the short outer primary 

 usually showing trace of white, the second (from without) primary with three instead 

 of two white spots; size, larger. 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes and western slope 

 of the Central Andes.

(1719a) Veniliornis nigriceps equifasciatus Chapm. 



Veniliornis nigriceps equifasciatus Chapm., Bull. A. M. N. H., XXXI, 1912, p. 144 . 

 (Santa Isabel, Cen. Andes, 12000 ft., Colombia). 



Char, suhsp. — Similar to Veniliornis nigriceps nigriceps (Lafr. & d'Orb.) but 

 olive-green and yellowish bars on underparts of equal width. 



Found by us only in the Temperate Zone of the Central Andes.

(1720) Veniliornis dignus (Scl. & Salv.). 



Chlorcmerpes dignus Sol. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1877, p. 20, pi. i (Remedios; Antioquia) ; 

 lUd. 1879, p, 533 (Jerioo). 



Our five specimens represent localities in the Subtropical Zone of all 

 three ranges. Fuertes' capture of a male at Fusugasuga extends the known 

 range of the species (hitherto recorded from Antioquia) into the Bogota 

 region where, however, we may assume it to be rare since it seems to have 

 escaped native collectors.
