VOL. XII, PP. 157-160 AUGUST 10, 1898 PROCEEDINGS OV THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON ON SOME BIRDS FROM PUEBLO VIEJO, COLOMBIA. BY OUTRAM BANGS. Mr. W. W. Brown, Jr., has just sent to the Bangs collection the results of about two weeks 1 collecting at the village of Pueblo Viejo, in the high Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The number of birds obtained was rather small, as his time was principally occupied in collecting mammals, which were found in much greater numbers than at the lower altitudes previously worked. All the birds here recorded, with the exception of one Hemiprocne zonarisj were taken at Pueblo Viejo, at about 8000 feet altitude, in the latter part of March, 1898. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Chas. W. Richmond, of the United States National Museum, for his great kindness in look ing over the birds and comparing them with skins in the Na tional Museum collection. Indeed, without his valuable assist ance I should have been unable to identify many of the species. (NOTE. All measurements are in millimeters.) Porzaiia albigularis (Lawr.). One adult, unsexed, taken Mar. 28, 1898. Geotrygon linearis (Prev. & Knip). One adult male, Mar. 28, 1898. Syrnium virgatum Cassin. One female, just emerging from immature plumage, Mar. 21, 1898. Ramphastos brevicarinatus Gould. One specimen. :U-Bioi,. Soc. WASH., VOL. XII, 1898 (157)
