This beautiful species was not at all uncommon, and many 

 specimens could have been procured if I had been making a 

 series. It generally was seen singly, sometimes in pairs, and 

 would frequently sit upon a limb quietly gazing at the caravan 

 as it passed by. When flying, the rich coloring of the back and 

 wings made it a most beautiful object. It usually perched on a 

 dead branch, if one was handy, and rather high up on a tree.

This handsome roller, while not so plentiful as the preceding 

 species, was not uncommon. Both birds are noisy and pug- 

 nacious, fighting almost any winged creature, even if much 

 larger in size. It is not so often seen perha'ps in the more open 

 parts of the country as is C. lorti, but is very similar in its habits 

 and, I should imagine, in its food also. On the wing it is not so 

 handsome as its relative.
