being taken in all, and only one in a place; Los Amates, Mazatenango 

 and Patulul being the localities from which they were taken. They 

 seem to prefer dense woods to open situations. In appearance they 

 resemble the Empidonaces. Iris pale straw color; maxilla horn- 

 blue; mandible pale; feet pale horn-blue. 



133. Todirostrum cinerium finitimum Bangs. 



In the tierra caliente on both sides of the country, this species 

 was found in bushes or low trees in open situations. Two were taken 

 at Los Amates and four at San Jose. A female from the latter locality 

 has a white spot on the crown. The back of this specimen is olive- 

 green and the under parts are canary yellow. Four others have the 

 olive-green back of a duller tone, ranging toward plumbeous, while 

 the remaining specimen has the interscapular area slate gray, only 

 the rump showing a tinge of olive-green; and the under parts are a 

 paler yellow than is on any of the others. This gray specimen 

 matches very closely others in this Museum from Colombia. Iris 

 straw color. 



134. Oncostoma cinereigulare (Sclater}. 



The only specimen obtained, or seen, was taken in heavy timber 

 on the side of a mountain near Patulul. 



135. Pipromorpha assimiles (Sclater). 



This species is represented in the collection by a single specimen 

 taken near Patulul, in thick woods. No others were observed. 



136. Elania viridicata placens (Sclater}. 



At Los Amates, San Jose* and Mazatenango, this flycatcher was 

 rather common, but none were observed higher than about 1,200 feet. 

 Six specimens were taken, each of the above named localities being 

 represented. Iris dark brown. 



137. Elasnia flavogastra sub=pagana Sclater & Salvin. 



Three specimens were taken at Lake Atitlan, none being seen 

 elsewhere. Apparently it prefers high, open situations. Iris dark 

 brown. 



138. Myiozetetes similis superciliosus (Bonaparte}. 



This noisy flycatcher was taken at Los Amates, Gualan, Patulul 

 and Lake Amatitlan; seven specimens all told. They were usually 

 in pairs, in exposed situations, where sunshine and flying insects are
