Though apparently rare in Southern Mexico (where our only records of its presence 
are those of Sallé, who found it at Tlacotalpam, and of Herbert Smith at Teapa), 
Todirostrum cinereum is a common species in Guatemala and throughout the rest of 
Central America, being for the most part a bird of the lowland forests, but occasionally, 
though rarely, ascending the mountains to a height of about 5000 feet. Its usual 
resort is the forest, but it may at times be seen in trees situated in more open country. 
In South America 7. cinereum is one of the most widely spread of Tropical birds, 
notwithstanding its small size. It seems to be generally distributed in the forests of 
South-American lowlands to the confines of Southern Brazil. In Guiana it occurs up 
to an elevation of at least 3500 feet, and on the slopes of the Andes doubtless to a still 
greater height. 
Salmon, who took the eggs of this species, says they are white, but he makes no
