Three native-made skins are said also to have come from the same range to 

 which possibly herlepschi may be restricted. 

 Rio Toche, 3. 



(1223) Phaiolaima rubinoides rubinoides (Bourc. & Muls.). 



Trochilus rubinoides Boitrc. & Muls., Ann. Sc. Phys. et Nat. Lyon, IX, 1846, 

 p. 322 (New Grenada). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Eastern Andes. In addition to the 

 single specimen listed below we have a good series of 'Bogota' skins. 

 El Roble, 1. 



(1224) Phaiolaima rubinoides sequatorialis Gould. 

 PhcBolcema (Bquatorialis Gould, Mon. Troeh., IV, 1860, p. 269, pi. 264 (Ecuador). 



Specimens from the Subtropical Zone of the Western Andes, and western 

 slope of the Central Andes, while obviously to be referred to oequatorialis 

 show, in some instances, characters which indicate the intergradation of 

 this form with true rubinoides. Thus, three adult males from San Antonio, 

 have the forehead narrowly glittering green of the same color as in rubi- 

 noides, and in one of these birds this' color extends backward on the center 

 of the crown as a fairly well-defined stripe. In the length of the bill the west 

 Colombian examples agree with Ecuador specimens. Three females, two of 

 which had the ovaries slightly enlarged, have a fairly well-developed throat- 

 patch. 



San Antonio, 5; Miraflores, 1; Salento, 2. 



(1230) Heliodoxa leadbeateri (Bourc. & Muls.). 



Trochilus leadbeateri Bourc. & Muls., Ann. Sc. Phys. et Nat. Lyon, VI, 1843, 

 p. 43 (Caracas). 



Heliodoxa leadbeateri parvula Berl., J. flir O., 1887, p. 320 (Bogotd). 



Inhabits the Subtropical Zone of the Central and Western Andes. I 

 can detect no differences in color or in size between our Colombian specimens 

 and a male from Caracas. The bill in the Bogota form, for which Berlepsch 

 proposed the name parvula (J. c.) is said by Hartert to measure 18-19 rarely 

 20 mm., whereas in five males from the Bogota region, selected at random, 

 it measures 21-22 mm., the dimensions accredited to typical leadbeateri.
