tinguish this species. At any rate, it is not present in other Colombian 

 specimens, though it is shown by some from Chimborazo. Should it prove 

 to be individual or seasonal this form would differ from other northern 

 forms of this group by its size alone.

An immature male taken at Almaguer (alt. 10,300 ft.) in the Central 

 Andes south of Popayan, is our only specimen. This species has been found 

 in Bogota collections. Hellmayr (Nov. Zool. 1906, p. 308) refers to this 

 genus " Haplospiza" uniformis Scl. & Salv. of Central America and South 

 Mexico.

Found by us only in the Tropical Zone in Amazonian Colombia, where 

 its capture by Miller adds it to the known fauna of the country. Our speci- 

 mens appear to be typical.

We secured no specimens on the eastern slope of the Eastern Andes, and 

 I am therefore unable to say how birds from that region agree with A. a. 

 spectabilis from eastern Ecuador. Five specimens from the Magdalena 

 Valley and one from the lower Cauca, however, evidently represent the bird 

 currently known as erythrorhynchus. The Puerto Valdivia bird is the 

 darkest of the four and consequently approaches A. a. occidentalis. In this 

 race the chin is either wholly without or with but a trace of black.
