Remarks.— It is obvious that two specimens of the genus Phyllomyias 
from the Subtropical Zone above the Cauca Valley are subspecifically 
separable from a Bogoté and two Santa Marta specimens. The latter 
agree in size with P. griseiceps Scl. (P. Z. S., 1870, p. 841)-of western Ecua- 
dor, of which, unfortunately, I have no topotypical specimens. Both the 
male and female of caucew, as the appended table shows, are, however, too 
much larger than griseiceps to be referred to that species, and at the risk of 
increasing the confusion which prevails in this group I reluctantly describe 
them.

Habrura pectoralis bogotensis subsp. nov. 
Char. subsp.— Similar to H. p. pectoralis but more richly colored throughout, 
the buffy areas of pectoralis largely ochraceous-tawny; the lores, margins to frontal 
feathers, auricular region, rump, wing-bars and quill margins ochraceous-tawny, 
the foreback blackish brussels-brown; crown black, margined with ochraceous tawny ; 
underparts largely ochraceous-tawny, the throat and center of the abdomen yellow- 
ish buffy; a band of ochraceous-tawny crossing the breast; size between that of 
pectoralis and brevipennis. Wing, 44.5; tail, 40; tarsus, 17; culmen, 10 mm. 
Lype.— No. 1382128, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Sex ?, Suba, Bogoté Savanna, Col., 
April 5, 1915; Hermano Apolinar Maria. 
Remarks.— This is the fourth new bird taken in the marshes where I 
had the good fortune to shoot the types of Ixobrychus exilis bogotensis and 
Agelavus icterocephalus bogotensts, and from which ee Apolinar secured 
the type of Cistothorus apolinari. 
Evidently the native collectors who during the past eighty years have 
been shipping birds’ skins from Bogota have collected chiefly on the forested 
slopes of the Andes, neglecting the country at the city’s gates. 
Geographically, the nearest species of the genus Habrura to the one here 
described, is Habrura pectoralis brevipennis Berl. & Hart: (Nov. Zool., TX, 
1902, p. 40), a small form of pectoralis, which it is said to resemble east 
in color, of the lower Orinoco and British Guiana and hence of the T ropical 
Zone. It follows, therefore, that as with Agelaius icterocephalus bogotensis,
