Carriker: List of the Birds of Costa Rica. 551 



advised me of this fact after investigating the matter, and I have 



accordingly named the new form in his honor. 



S. simoni seems to be fairly common on the Volcan de Barba and 



has also been taken occasionally in other localities. Its altitudinal 



range seems to be the same as that of S. flamniula, or perhaps a trifle 



lower.

valles, Buenos Aires de Terraba (Carriker). Six skins. 



This species is pretty well distributed over Costa Rica, although not 

 common as high up as the central plateau region, Underwood's birds 

 from San Pedro being the only record for that altitude. On the Car- 

 ibbean slope it ranges from about 1,200 feet up to 3,000 or a little 

 higher, and on the Pacific side I only know of it having been taken 

 at Miravalles (1,500 feet) and in the Terraba Valley (1,000 to 1,500). 

 It is altogether a woodland species, not at all conspicuous, and prob- 

 ably not abundant anywhere.
