We have taken only five specimens of this species, two at 10,340 ft., in 

 the Western Andes west of Popayan, two at El Pifiion (alt. 9600 ft.) and one 

 at Fusugasuga (alt. 6000 ft.) in the Western Andes. 



Confined chiefly to the Temperate Zone and doubtless occurring in all 

 three ranges though we did not take it in the Central Andes.

(4271) Thraupis episcopus leucoptera (Scl). 



Tanagra leucoptera Sol., Cat. Bds. B. M., XI, 1886, p. 154 (Bogota). 



This bird replaces T. c. cana on the eastern slope of the Eastern Andes 

 where it is one of the first species of Guianan fauna to be encountered in 

 crossing from Bogota to Villavicencio. We observed it in the arid Sub- 

 tropical Zone between Caqueza and Quetame (alt. 5000) whence it occurred 

 continuously and in increasing numbers to the llanos.

(4272) Thraupis coelestis coelestis (Spix). 



Tanagra ccelestis Spix, Av. Bras., II, 1826, p. 42, pi. 55, fig. 1. 



Five specimens from La Morelia are typical of this species which appears 

 not to have been before recorded from Colombia.

 (BarranquiUa to Honda and Guaduas) ; Allen, Bull. A. M. N. H., XIII, 1900, p. 169

This race has an exceptionally wide distribution in the Tropical Zone, 

 It occurs chiefly in open scattered growths and in ground of this nature 

 ranges upward to the Subtropical Zone. I detect no racial differences in 

 our large series.
