Juperne from the very few instances in which Zogon macrurus has been met with by collectors since the
species was first brought under notice in the first edition of the ‘ Monograph,’ it would appear that the bird
is very local, and ranges over a very limited area. Indeed I doubt whether it is to be found beyond the
district included between the lower region of the river Magdalena and the Isthmus of Panama as far as the
base of the mountainous region of Veragua. M’Leannan obtained specimens, forwarded both te Mr.
Lawrence and to Messrs. Salvin and Godman, on the Panama-Railway line. The late Mr. Cassin says,
in his account of the birds obtained during Lieut. Michler’s survey of the Isthmus of Darien, that amongst
some young birds he attributed to 7. massena, obtained on the river Fernando and the delta of the Atrato,
was one that might be the young of this species. oo,

In the Museum Heineanum are two birds ascribed to 7. macrurus, one young and oo fema e, bot L
of which are said to have come from Cartagena. Beyond these meagre facts nothing is known of
this bird.
