143. Terenotriccus erythrurus fulvigularis (Salvin & Godmari). 



A single specimen was secured near Los Amates. This appears 

 to extend the range of the species, as hitherto reported, considerably 

 to the northward. 



144. Sayornis nigricans aquatica (Sclater & Salvin). 



A young bird just out of the nest was taken at Lake Atitlan 

 April 8th. At 6,500 feet, near Tecpam, a pair of adults was secured. 

 These specimens have under tail coverts mottled, black and white. 

 The nest at Lake Atitlan was sheltered beneath the eaves of a house. 

 All that were seen were near water, and every movement was similar 

 to that of 5. phcebe here in the States. Iris dark brown. 



145. Empidonax fulvifrons fusciceps Nelson. 



This little flycatcher was not seen below 5,000 feet, but between 

 that altitude and about 7,500 feet, it was not uncommon. Three were 

 taken at Lake Atitlan and two in a valley between there and Tecpam. 

 It frequents roadsides and pastures where there are scattered bushes 

 to perch upon and to harbor winged insects. Iris dark brown. 



146. Empidonax trail!! (Audubori). 



Seven Trail's flycatchers were taken, Los Amates, Mazatenango and 

 San Jose being the localities from which they were obtained. None 

 were noticed in the highlands. All of this series are easily referable 

 to this subspecies, none being so dark as alnorum. The January 

 specimens, as well as those taken in March, with one exception, were 

 in abraded plumage. Iris dark brown. 



147. Empidonax minimus (Baird). 



The least flycatcher winters abundantly in Guatemala. Sixteen 

 specimens were obtained, representing Los Amates, El Rancho, Lake 

 Amatitlan, Patulul, San Jose, Mazatenango and Lake Atitlan. Those 

 taken in March had pin feathers on crown and throat, and were evi- 

 dently beginning to assume the nuptial dress. Iris dark brown; 

 maxilla black; mandible pale. 



148. Empidonax flaviventris (Baird}. 



Yellow-bellied flycatchers were found at Los Amates in January, 

 but they did not seem to be very common. The last of March and 

 early in April they were plentiful in Mazatenango and Patulul. It 

 is probable they were then migrating northward, and that the major-
