Mr. O. Salvin^s Synopsis 
elusion that S, flaveola is only the young stage of S. ornatay 
in which the white feathers of the side of the head have not 
been developed. 
S, ornata is a common species in Bogota colleetions ; and 
it would seem that its range is restrieted to a limited distriet 
in the vicinity of that city and the mountain-range extending 
northwards which forms the eastern boundary of the valley of 
the river Magdalena. In this direction Mr. Wyatt obtained a 
single speeimen at Portrerras in 1870. The alleged occur¬ 
rence of this species in Ecuador requires eonfirmation.

In treating of the genus Setophaga, in his ^ Review of Ame¬ 
rican Birds/ Professor Baird expressed a doubt (p. 255) as to 
the correctness of Mr. Sclater’s application of the name S. 
ruficoronata of Kaup. An examination of the type, and the 
receipt from Mr. Buckley of two specimens from Eeuador 
exactly agreeing with it, prove that these doubts were well 
founded. The true S. ruficoronata, as a reference to the 
Plate accompanying this paper (Plate VII. fig. 1) will at 
once show, has no black margin whatever to the chestnut 
colour of the crown j whereas, in the bird hitherto called by 
us S. ruficoronata, not only is the chestnut crown distinctly 
margined with blaek, but that colour pervades the whole 
sides of the head, leaving only a cirelet round the eye and a 
loral stripe yellow. 
The type of 8 . ruficoronata, as shown by the original tieket 
on the specimen, was obtained by Delattre at Cali, in Columbia. 
Besides this bird, I have only seen the two specimens sent us
