Ten specimens from the Tropical Zone of the Pacific coast and Cauca 

 Valley, are evidently all of one form and in default of a series from Ecuador

 they agree.

Nicaragua 3 males (Ridgw.)

Naranjo, Manavi, Ecuador, 1 male 



Rio Frio, Col., 2 males 



It will be observed that the largest bird in the table is from Ecuador, 

 whence cethiops Scl. was described. I have, however, no females from 

 Ecuador, which are said to be duller in tone than Central American females.
