nape, are provided with the new designation. C. cyanocephala 
corallina (Orn. Monatsber. xi. p. 18). 
In their joint paper on KalinowskTs Peruvian collections, 
Count Berlepsch and Dr. Stolzmann discriminated C. ar¬ 
gent ea fulvigula (type ex Tambillo, N. Peru), while C. a. viridi- 
collis Tacz., from Huiro, is shown to be the same as the 
birds from Central Peru, viz. C. a. argentea (‘ Ornis/ xiii. 
part ii. 1906, p. 80). 
Mr. Bangs, in 1908, distinguished C. gyroloides deleticia, 
basing his description upon three adult birds taken by 
Mr. Mervyn G. Palmer at San Antonio, Western Colombia 
(Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. xxi. p. 160). Its chief characteristic, 
when compared with C. g. gyroloides (Lafr.), is the lack of 
the bright yellow shoulder-patch. We have, in the Munich 
Museum, a good series from various localities in the Western 
Cordillera of Colombia, as well as several specimens from 
Rio Lima and “ Bogota/' in all of which the lesser wing- 
coverts are green, not bright yellow. Yet more information 
about the ranges of the two races is required, for skins from 
Paramba, N.W. Ecuador, Quito, and Chanchamayo, Central 
Peru, agree with the Central American bird in the possession 
of the yellow shoulder-patch ! 
The last addition to the genus Calospiza was made by 
myself when, in 1909,1 described C. palmeri as a new species. 
This beautiful bird, of which a detailed description will be 
found in the ‘ Revue Fran 9 aise d'Ornithologie/ no. 4, August 
1909, pp. 49-50, was also discovered by Mr. Mervyn G. 
Palmer, in October 1908, at Sipi, a place situated on the 
river of the same name, in the province of Choco, Western 
Colombia. C. palmeri agrees in general form and shape 
of the bill with C. brasiliensis (Linn.), but is very unlike 
it in coloration. In fact, it needs comparison only with 
C. cabanisi (Scl.), from Western Guatemala, which, however, 
differs in many important characters. The black on the 
face is much less extended, being restricted to the lores and 
a narrow line across the forehead and round the base of the 
lower mandible; the pileum is of a dull dark blue with the 
bases of the feathers largely black ; the interscapular region
