Columba subvinacea peninsularis subsp. nov. 
Char. subsp.— In general coloration resembling Columba subvinacea bogotensis 
(Berl. & Lev.), the olivaceous of the upperparts being more or less mixed with or 
washed with dark vinaceous ; but the inner margins of the wing-quills are strongly 
rufous, except at the ends of the feathers; size much smaller, about that of C. s. 
berlepscht. 
Type.— No. 120302, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., @ ad., mountains above Cristobal 
‘Colon (alt. 1500 ft.), Paria Peninsula, Venezuela, June 13, 1913; L. E. Miller. 
Remarks.— This interesting form, based on three specimens all from the 
type-locality, apparently represents the most eastward extension of the 
subvinacea type. Compared with true subvinacea, from Costa Rica, it is 
smaller and the general coloration is much more olivaceous and nearer that 
of C. s. bogotensis. The inner margin of the wing-quills, however, are quite 
as rufous as in subvinacea, but the under wing-coverts are more vinaceous 
than in that form. Roughly speaking, therefore, peninsularis has the 
general coloration of bogotensis with the wing-lining of subvinacea, but in 
size 1t is smaller than either. 
Hellmayr and von Seilern record C. s. subvinacea ' from Las Quiguas, near 
San Esteban in north central Venezuela but the measurements of their 
specimen indicate that it is not the form here described.
