TURDUS FULIGINOSUS (Howe). 
Hylocichla fuscescens fuliginosa, Howe, Auk, xvii. p. 270 (1900). 
Tuts race of T. fuscescens is described from Newfoundland, and is said to differ both from the last- 
named form and from 7. salicicola. Тһе Committee of the American Ornithologists’ Union have, 
however, decided that it is not to be separated from the latter (cf. Auk, xviii. p 314).

TURDUS MINUSCULUS (Bangs). 
Merula pheopyga minuscula, Bangs, Pr. Biol. Soc. Washington, xii. p. 181. 
Tuis form of Turdus pheopygus has been described by Mr. Outram Bangs from a specimen procured by 
Mr. W. W. Brown at Pueblo Viejo, in Colombia, at an altitude of 8000 feet. Не says .—“ Although 
very like true Merula pheopyga, the bird of the Santa Marta Mountains is slightly smaller, and of 
a darker, more olive-brown above, so that 1 no longer have any hesitation in regarding it as a fairly 
marked subspecies. It is much more closely related to true М. pheopyga than any other races 
of that Thrush. ғ 
* Mr. Brown, though in the mountains during the breeding-season, took but three examples of 
5 5 5 p 
M. pheopyga minuscula, and reports it a rare bird. As it is a remarkable singer, it is not likely 
that he passed many males unnoticed at that season." 
Mr. Bangs describes this race as being “smaller than true М. pA«opyga of British Guiana; 
wing shorter; colour of back and crown darker (olive in M. pheopyga minuscula, bistre in 
M. pheopyga pheopyga).” 
This form is also noticed by Dr. Hellmayr (J. f. O. 1902, рр. ‚63), where some excellent 
critical notes are given on Turdus pheopygus and its allies, Т. spodiolemus, T. minusculus, and 
T. pheopygoides.

TURDUS CONTEMPTUS, Hellnayr. 
Turdus crotopezus contemptus, Hellmayr, 7. f. O. 1902, p. 61. 
Dn. HELLMAYR separates the Bolivian form of Turdus crotopezus as a distinct. subspecies, on account 
of its larger size, broader and longer bastard-primary, more reddish upper surface (not so olive-brown), 
and the purer colour of the under surface. In the Museum series from Bahia are some individuals 
which appear to be intermediate, and I do not think the characters for the Bolivian race are very 
well marked.
