. The birds of the Republic of Panama. Birds. 6l2 BIRDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA PART 4 Females (10 from Chiriqui and Costa Rica), wing (), tail (), culmen from base (), tarsus () Figure 48.—Rufous-collared Sparrow, Gorrion de Collar Rojizo, Zonotrichia capensis costaricensis. Resident. Abundant in the highlands of Chiriqui and Veraguas and found also on Cerro Campana and Cerro Chame in western Prov- ince of Panama. On Volcan de Chiriqui and around Boquete, Chiriqui W. W. Brown, Jr., (Bangs, Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol 3, 1902, p. 70) collected it between 1200 and 3000 m. I found it at Sereno, Chiriqui, at 1110 m. In Veraguas, Arce collected it at Chitra, Calove- vora, and Castillo (Salvin and Godman, Biol. , Aves, vol. 1, pt. 48, 1886, p. 371). There is also an old skin in the Smithsonian marked Cascajal, Code. Presumably this was taken on the high open slopes on the Pacific side, above the head of the Rio Cascajal, which is a tributary of the Rio Code del Norte. Dr. Matthew W. Stirling, who has been on the Cascajal, informs me that the Caribbean slope is heavily forested, but that there are open, grass slopes just over the divide to- ward La Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Wetmore, Alexander, 1886-1978.
