f[A Dear Dr. Moynihan: *• - f • 7.. . j ! -• -'"A- f gfe uTila TmflS 
_ ^miafljiift for not, answer ing _y o ur two interesting letters earlier, 
(jUt x naVe been away xn nogotu Turr Bbraetime attending TTatlonul Congress on agricul- 
ture, ana talking to the President and other government officials, and lecturing 
at Univcrsidad Tadoo Lozano, and to some private groups. Mow I am back in Cali. 
Your description of the Chlorospingus seen at kures last day 
coincides with that of C. ophthalmicus , the race nigriceps has been collected on 
e M. slope of the tf. Andes at their northern end, but also in tne Central Andes 
on both slopes as far south as La Candela. Another Chlorospingus that is similarly 
colored ana is found in that area is C. canigularis conspicillatus , this one has 
throat and middle of belly pure grayish- white* under wing-coverts white. If it woula 
he C. o, nigriceps , it woula be a q.uite interesting extension of its range to the 
south, in the V. Andes. ’ ; . ' 
fxie otner' bird seems to be Chlorophanes spiaa subtropicalis from 
your description. This one has the lower mandible yellow, the black cap and otner 
detail as you describe it.* 
1 hope this may be of help to you. If tnere is some else in 
which you think I may be of nelp to you, you are welcome to call on me.
