An inhabitant of scrubby growth in the Tropical Zone which ranges 

 upward to the lower border of the Subtropical Zone. Colombian speci- 

 mens agree in averaging yellower below than those in a good series from 

 Trinidad and thus approach the Panama form, M. f. furfurosus.

Specimens from Fusugasuga, Subia, and from the Central Andes twenty 

 miles west of Honda are typical of this form. Specimens from the lower 

 Cauca approach stellatus in their smaller size but are nearer ornatus. Old 

 ' Bogota ' skins differ from recently collected ones in having the yellow areas 

 paler.

Myiobius stellatus Cab., J. f. O., 1873, p. 158 (Ecuador). 



Specimens from the Pacific Coast region, chiefly from the Tropical 

 Zone, appear to be referable to this form, but the variation shown by three 

 specimens from Ecuador leaves me somewhat in doubt as to the true char- 

 acters of stellatus. A specimen from Lita, northwestern Ecuador, secured 

 through the Tring Museum is labelled 'stellatus,' and one from 'western 

 Ecuador' received from von Berlepsch is similarly named. Both have the 

 breast olive-green, as broadly so in the Lita specimen as in any example of 

 true ornatus. But a bird collected by Richardson at Rio de Oro, Manavi, has 

 almost no olive-green on the breast, at least centrally, where the gray of the 

 throat and yellow of the belly are in contact. If the Lita specimen is true
