Allen ^ referred to cinereicollis, form a strongly marked race to which the 

 name Basileuterus conspicillatus Salv. & Godm.'' is evidently applicable. It 

 differs from cinereicollis in being more yellow above; in having the nape 

 grayer, the black crown-lines more extended posteriorly, the coronal patch 

 usually ochraceous-orange and never so conspicuous or so yellow, the supra- 

 loral stripe always well-developed; the bill smaller, and the gray throat more 

 restricted. These characters are all present in each of our twenty-nine 

 specimens of the Santa Marta bird which, in view of its probable isolation, 

 may doubtless be accorded specific rank.'

 Marta). 



The crown in our male from Peque is ochraceous-orange; in the Mira- 

 fiores bird it is more ochraceous. In cabanisi it is usually yellow but both 

 our specimens can be matched in a series of eleven cabanisi, one from Onaca 

 agreeing with the Peque bird, one from Merida, Venezuela, with the example 

 from Miraflores. This species appears not to have been before recorded 

 from either the Central or Western Andes.

Common in the Subtropical Zone of all three ranges. Comparison of 

 our series of thirty-seven specimens with five specimens from Peru and 

 BoKvia confirms Hellmayr's reference of the Colombian bird to the Peru-

' Mr, W. E. C. Todd calls my attention to Sharpe's statement (Hand-List of Birds, V, p. 12.3) 

 that Hellmayr has no doubt of the identity o! conspicillaias and cinereicollis, and adds that, in his 

 judgment, Sclater's name is based on a specimen from the Santa Marta mountains and that the 

 Bogota bird, therefore, requires a new name. This question, however, can be decided only by compar- 

 ison of the type of cinereicolflis with adequate series from both the Santa Marta and Bogota regions.
