the Species of the Genus Pipreola. 
This species is most common in Bogota collections, and 
was originally based upon specimens from that locality. Mr. 
Salmon^’s skins from the state of Antioquia likewise belong 
to this form; and I cannot distinguish examples from the 
vicinity of Quito and other districts of Western Ecuador, 
though at high elevations in Ecuador the next form seems 
to be also found.

This is a barely separable form of the last species, originally 
established upon specimens from Venezuela. Hr.^Goering 
f obtained examples of it both near Caracas and at Merida. 
In Ecuador the same form would appear to occur occa¬ 
sionally at high altitudes; at least I cannot distinguish the 
specimen obtained at Chillanes in 1858 by Fraser from the 
Venezuelan bird; and Mr. Buckley^s skins from Intaj like¬ 
wise belong to this form.
