Mr. C. E. Ilellmayr on some 
section was made known by Count Berlepsch as Calospiza 
formosa sincipitalis ( f Ornis/ xiv. Feb. 1907, p. 348j. The 
type came from Leopoldina, a place on the Rio Araguaya, 
in the Brazilian State of Goyaz, whence the Tring Museum 
also received several examples through Mons. G. A. Baer. 
In my report on M. Baer’s collections * I have discussed, 
at some length, the various geographical races of C. flava, 
viz. : C. flava flava (Gm.), Bahia to Pernambuco; C. flava 
chloroptera (Vieill.), Sao Paulo and Paraguay ; C. flava 
sincipitalis Berl., Goyaz ; C. flava margarita (Allen), Matto 
Grosso. 
About the two Colombian species described by Comte de 
Dalmas I have to say a few words. Of C. johannee, the 
Munich Museum has lately received an adult male, a female, 
and a young bird, from the Province of Choco, Western 
Colombia. This striking species is evidently confined to the 
humid forests on the Pacific slopes of the Western Cordillera 
in Colombia and North-western Ecuador f. C. emilice Dalm., 
which inhabits the same district, I have shown to be the true 
C. lavinia of Cassin, and I have, accordingly, proposed the 
new name C. lavinia dalmasi for the Central American form J. 
A third race of this group has been separated as C. lavinia 
cava by Mr. O. Bangs in Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash, xviii. 1905, 
p. 155 (type from Ceiba, Honduras). It agrees with C. 1. 
dalmasi in coloration, but is larger, with a much longer and 
more slender bill. 
In 1901, Count Berlepsch described Calliste sophice , two 
specimens of which had been obtained by Mr. O. Garlepp at 
Songo in the Yungas of Western Bolivia (Journ. f. Ornith. 
1901, p. 83). Shortly afterwards Mr. Jean Kalinowski 
forwarded a series from Marcapata, S.E. Peru, to the 
* Novit. Zool. xv. 1908, pp. 26-28. 
f Dr. Sclater (‘Ibis/ 1901, p. 597) recorded two specimens from Oroya 
and Rio Yinimbare, Peru, P. Simons coll. This, however, was due to 
some misunderstanding, for, as I am informed by Mr. 0. Chubb, the 
British Museum does not possess specimens of C. johannce , the two skins 
mentioned being referable to Chlorochrysa fulgentissima Ohapm.
