Show 146 MR. O. SALVIN ON THE BIRDS OF VERAGUA. [Jan. 24, snecies inhabiting this country. F. analis is also given by Mr. Lawrence, in his list of Mr. M'Leannan's collections, as being found at Panama. 102. GRALLARIA GUATEMALENSIS, Prev. Santa Fe. , i -\ 't.x. A single specimen in not quite adult plumage agrees closely with Guatemalan examples ; it is, however, rather darker in general colour, the grey of the head, the olivaceous back, the rufous brown of the wings, and the tawny of the under surface being all of a deeper hue. In Sur specimens of this species some variation is noticeable in intensity of coloration, especially of the under plumage ; so that this Veraguan specimen may only show the extreme limit ot this difference. 103. GRALLARIA PERSPICILLATA, Lawr. Santa Fe and Santiago de Veragua. 104. PlTTASOMA MICHLERI, CaSSUl. Santa Fe. . , The presence of these two birds in these collections deprive the Isthmus of Panama of two more of its hitherto-considered-pecuhar species, showing their more northern range. 105. GRALLARICULA COSTARICENSIS, Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lye. viii. Cordillera de Tole. A single specimen obtained by Arce agrees well with Mr. Lawrence's description. . 106. ATTILA SCLATERI, Lawr.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z.S. 1864, p. 358. Santa Fe. This race is also found in Costa Rica, Arce having sent a specimen from Tucurriqui. It is more constant in coloration than the more northern form, A. citreopygius, Bp. (Scl. Cat. p. 195), which frequently exhibits considerable variation of plumage, both in the striation of the head and in the ochraceous tinge of the under surface. A. sclateri is distinguishable from A. citreopygius bj its greener head, hindneck, throat, and chest, and by the paler lemon-coloured uropygium. 107. COPURUS LEUCONOTUS, Lafr.; Scl. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1864, p. 358. Santa Fe. This species also ranges northward into Costa Rica, and-to Blew-fields in the Mosquito territory. 108. PLATYRHYNCHUS SUPERCILIARIS, Lawr. Ibis, 1863, p. 184. Santa Fe*. * Several specimens of both sexes. |
