I beliete now that there- is little ddubt that the blwe-backed bird
named T. darwini by Prince Bonaparte, and afterwards T. frugilegus
by Tschudi, is really the female of T. striata^, though at onejtime I
thought otherwise. Lhave not yet seeuihe blaclc-backed male from
,the western side of. the Andes; but d’Orbigny’s Bolivian collection
in the Paris Museum contains examples .of both „ses?e& from the
eastern side.
If the.birds from all the localities given are identical, which I believe
to be the case, this Tanager presents an instance of a remarkably
extensive geographic range for a bird of this family.
