100 Bangs On Some Birds from Santa Marta, Colombia. Premnoplex brunnescens (Scl.). Two females, one from San Miguel, the other from Ghirua. Dendrocincla olivacea anguina Bangs. Three specimens, one each from Palomina, Chirua, and La Concepcion. All are similar to the type, the only specimen Mr. Brown had previously taken. Picolaptes laciymiger (Des Murs.). One female from La Concepcion. Drymophila caudata (Scl.). Twenty-five specimens, young and adult of both sexes, from Chirua, La Concepcion, San Francisco, Santa Crn/, San Antonio, and San Miguel. I am now inclined to consider the Santa Marta bird true D. caudata (Scl.), although when I recorded the first two, taken by Mr. Brown at Palo mina,* I thought that they were not that species. The tails are about the same throughout the series and do not differ, to any extent, with age or sex. The rectrices are dark brown (between raw umber and bister), with subapical black bands and white tips. The only specimen from ' Bogota ' in the National Museum has a precisely similar tail. Sclater's descrip tion reads : ' Tail of ten feathers, very long, much graduated, black, with white ends.' This was probably a mistake. Conopophaga brownif sp. nov. Five specimens, both sexes, from Chirua. Type, from Chirua, Colombia; altitude, 7,000 feet. No. 6177, cT adult, coll. of E. A. and 0. Bangs. Collected Feb. 1 2, 1899, by W. W.
