(2885) Anseretes agilis (ScL). 

 Euscarthmus agilis Scl., P. Z. S., 1856, p. 28, pi. 118 (Bogotd). 



Apparently restricted to the upperpart of the Temperate Zone. In 

 addition to our specimens from the Central and Eastern Andes we have 

 also a series from the vicinity of Quito.

(2888a) Mionectes striaticoUis poliocephalus Tsch. 



M.lionectes] poliocephalus Tsch., Fauna Peruana, 1845-6, p. 148, pi. ix, fig. 1 

 (Peru, "tiefem Waldregion"). 



Mionectes striaticoUis Scl. & Salv., P. Z. S., 1879, p. 512 (Sta. Elena). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of all three ranges. The Colombian 

 bird is not for a moment to be confused with true striaticoUis (of which I 

 have one specimen from Yungas, Bolivia), from which it differs conspicu- 

 ously in its more narrowly streaked throat, and the restriction of the breast- 

 stripes, but in default of topotypical examples of polioQephaliis I am unable 

 to say whether our specimens are properly referred to the Peruvian form. 

 Birds from the Bogota region have the head appreciably greener than those 

 from the Western Andes, and it is probable that they, at least, are separable 

 from poliocephala.

(2890) Mionectes olivaceus hederaceus Bangs. 



Mionectes olivaceus hederaceus Bangs, Proo. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIII, 1910, p. 73 

 (Pavas, 4400 ft., w. Col.); Hellm , P. Z. S., 1911, p. 1131 (San Joaquim; Calima; 

 N6vita). 



This form of Mionectes olivaceus inhabits the Tropical Zone of the Pacific 

 coast, and extends eastward at least to the lower Cauca Valley. At the 

 eastern base of the Eastern Andes it is represented by a form {M. o. palli- 

 dus) which, while far removed geographically, is nearer hederaceus in ap- 

 pearance than any other race of the olivaceus group.
