In tlieir geographical distribution the members of Seto- 
phaga are almost wholly confined in North America to the 
highlands of Mexico and Central America, and in South 
America to the Andes, from Columbia to Bolivia. The sole 
exceptions are:— S. ruticilla, which, passing the summer in 
Eastern North America and the winter between the equator 
and the tropic of Cancer, is a strictly migratory species; and 
S. castaneocapillaj which is peculiar to the highlands of 
British Guiana. To these may be added S. albifrons, which 
is restricted to the isolated highlands of Merida, in Venezuela. 
In the country north of the isthmus of Panama we have 
three species peculiar to Mexico, the territory immediately 
north of it, and Guatemala, viz. S. picta, S. miniata, and 
S. lacrymosa; and in Costa Bica and Veragua, S. aurantiaca 
and S, torquata. In the United States of Columbia S. chrysops, 
S. ornata, S. rujicoronata, and S.verticalis occur. In Vene¬ 
zuela, besides S. albifrons, already mentioned, S. verticalis 
is found j in Ecuador, S. verticalis, S. rujicoronata, and 
S. bairdi ; in Peru, S. verticalis and S. melanocephala ; and 
in Bolivia, S. verticalis, S. brunneiceps, and S. melanocephala. 
It will thus be seen that the majority of the species have a ^ 
very restricted range, and that the genus is wholly unrepre- j
