with our Ecuador specimens they show a distinct approach toward ruficeps 

 in the darker crown-cap, grayer nape and in two specimens (one from each 

 locality represented) blackish margin at the posterior border of the crown, 

 while one has some black at the side of the throat.

(2800) Euscarthmus striaticoUis zosterops Pelz. 

 Euscarthmus zosterops Pelz., Orn. Bras., 1869, p. 173 (Maribitanas, Brazil). 



In default of authentic specimens I refer two males from Florencia 

 to this form which has been accredited by Salvadori and Festa (Boll. 

 Mus. Tor., XIV, 1899, p. 5) to southeastern Ecuador. It is described by 

 Hellmayr (Nov. Zool., XVII, 1910, p. 290) as "duller green" above than 

 striaticoUis, whereas my birds are brighter, having the upperparts oil-green 

 rather than yellowish oil-green. In other respects, however, they agree 

 with Hellmayr's description.

(2812) Euscarthmus granadensis (Hartl.). 



Todirostrum granadense Haktl., Rev. Zool., 1843, p. 289 (New Grenada) . 

 Euscarthmus granadensis Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 512 (Retiro; Envigado; 

 Sta. Elena); Allen, Bull. A. M. N. H., XIII, 1900, p. 150 (El Libano). 



Occurs chiefly in the Temperate, but also in the Subtropical Zone. We 

 found it only in the Western and Central Andes, but its presence in Bogota 

 collections indicates that it also inhabits the Eastern Andes.

(2814a) Euscarthmus septentrionalis Chapm. 



Euscarthmus septentrionalis Chapm., Bull. A. M. N. H., XXXIII, 1914, p. 176 

 (Honda, CoL). 



Char. sp. — Similar to Euscarthmus impiger Scl. & Salv. but upperparts much 

 grayer, the bill slightly smaller, more subulate, and blackish brown. 



Found by us only in the Magdalena Valley at Honda, but occurring also 

 at Anzoategui (alt. 4750 ft.) on the Caribbean slope of the Venezuelan 

 mountains about 100 miles southwest of Puerto Cabello.
