Known only from the type-locality where it represents the nearly re- 

 lated P. I. anthracina of Veragua and Costa Rica. Between Cocal and 

 Veragua no form of this species appears to have been recorded. 



Doctor Hellmayr kindly calls my attention to the fact that the sub- 

 specific name proposed for this race is pre-occupied by Pipra mentalis minor 

 Hart., a form with which, as the preceding entry shows, I am perfectly 

 familiar, but the name of which I had overlooked in this connection. I 

 therefore suggest the name Pipra leucocilla minim/us for the Cocal form.

Found only at Buena Vista, above Villavicencio, and on the eastern 

 slope of the Eastern Andes below Andalucia (4000 ft.). Three adult males, 

 aside from being larger, are less bluish black than recently collected speci- 

 mens from British Guiana. Females are much brighter green than those 

 of P. I. leucocilla. Two young males collected by Fuertes, one having the 

 testes slightly, the other much enlarged, have the crown, sides of the head 

 and nape uniform slaty gray clearly defined from the oil-green back. This 

 is evidently the first nuptial plumage and, as shown by specimens of P. I. 

 leucocilla, it is succeeded by that of maturity.

Found only at Buena Vista, where two males were taken. An old 

 ■"Bogota' skin is duller above, and browner below, while the blue rump is 

 slightly paler.

 eastward into Antioquia. Barbacoas specimens are considerably smaller
