 (Bogota). 



Two females taken by Miller and Boyle at La Frijolera, on the lower 

 border of the Subtropical Zone on the eastern slope of the Western Andes, 

 and an unsexed specimen from the Central Andes west of Honda, agree with 

 the type (a 'Bogota' skin) of this rare bird but have the back of the crown 

 sharply defined from the greenish back, whereas in the type the black 

 extends on to the foreback.

Evidently occupies all of the Tropical Zone except the Cauca Valley and 

 the Caribbean coast region. It has not been found on the Pacific coast 

 north of Tumaco, all other records from west of the Western Andes being 

 from the slopes of that range. Specimens from eastern Panama agree with 

 mexicana in size but are intermediate in color. Specimens from Dabeiba 

 agree with columbiana in color but are intermediate in size. 



Salvadori and Festa (Bull. Mus. Tor. XV, 1899, p. 13) refer birds from 

 western Ecuador to columbiana and describe the bird from southeastern 

 Ecuador (Zamora, Gualquiza) as Certhiola intermedia. Lowe (Ibis, 1912, 

 p. 502) refers all Ecuador specimens to intermedia, including skins from 

 Guaquiza, Zamora, Esmeraldas, etc.
