Falls of the Truando. 



' ' At our encampment in the mountains on the Rio Truando, in the high 

 trees, and difficult to shoot. Not often seen, and quite shy and watchful." 

 (Mr. C. J. Wood). 



67. Nemosia auricollis, Sclater. 



Nemosia auricollis, Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1856, p. iii. 



From the river Truando. 



" At the first camp on the Truando, before reaching the mountains. In the 

 bushes growing abundantly in the extensive marshes and swamps on that 

 river. Appeared to have habits much like those of the Wrens, and constantly 

 repeated its notes, so as easily to be followed. (Mr. C. J. Wood).

From Turbo and the river Truando. 



Entire plumage light rufous, darker on the back, and lighter on the under 

 parts of the body and under wing coverts ; quills and tail rufous cinnamon, 

 shafts and inner webs of quills darker. Total length, about 9 inches, wing 5, 

 tail 4^ inches. Sexes alike. 



Several specimens labelled as both sexes, are from Turbo and the river 

 Truando, and all have the appearance of being in young or some peculiar 

 seasonal plumage. These specimens are all of an uniform dull rufous, very 

 nearly the color of the immature plumage in some species of black Tach.yph.onus 

 which induces me to suppose that the adult of this bird is quite different in 

 color from the present specimens. Although undoubtedly of the genus 

 Lipaugus, this bird corresponds but indifferently with the last description 

 above cited, though it may be that species in the plumage of another season 

 than that described. 



"In the dry parts of the forest at Turbo, and in the Cordilleras on the Rio 

 Truando, in the lower trees. Frequently seen, but always solitary and silent. 

 Sits very quietly in a tree and flies after insects, especially the large coleop- 

 terous species, abundant on the route everywhere." (Mr. C. J. Wood).

 From Turbo. "Very abundant and in large parties in the thick and dry 

 parts of the forest at Turbo. Constantly chattering and noisy, frequently 

 seen on the ground, and seemed to prefer low bushes. Female entirely black. ' '
