This is apparently an uncommon species in Colombia. We have taken 

 one specimen at Miraflores and a second from Enconosa, near Bogota, was 

 purchased. Lacking topotypical material for comparison the identifica- 

 tion of these birds may be considered as provisional.

Found only on the eastern slope of the Eastern Andes, where it ranged 

 from Villavicencio upward to the western border of the humid Tropical 

 Zone, between Buena Vista and Quetame. Although evidently the repre- 

 sentative of P. rutilus, none of our twelve adult specimens approaches 

 adults of that species. In juvenal plumage, however, the two are practi- 

 cally indistinguishable.

Common on the paramo of Santa Isabel, and in the Valle de las Pappas, 



■ in the Central Andes. A single specimen was taken at an altitude of 10,000 



feet, at the junction of the Temperate Zone with the paramo above 



Chipaque, east of Bogota, from which region this species does not appear to 



have been before recorded. 



Compared with a May specimen from Pichincha, near Quito, and July 

 specimens from Chimborazo, fourteen September Santa Isabel specimens 

 average somewhat less rufescent above and have the dorsal stripes paler 

 and the crown darker. A specimen labeled "Gualea, 13000 ft., June 1, 

 1913," however, very closely agrees with the Santa Isabel series. 



The Chipaque specimen, a female taken February 22, has the back 

 streaked with the color of the rump (aside from the pale shaft of the feather), 

 the ochraceous-tawny of the underparts more extensive than in any of the 

 other specimens, covering the throat, breast and, indeed, all but the center
