The specimens from the Orinoco and Gniana have very long wings. On a 

 future occasion we hope to discuss the various forms of T. palmaniin at length. 



The nest (parent bird 10717) stood on an oak tree in the open savannah, twenty 

 feet above the ground, concealed in a clump of small twigs and green leaves. The 

 parent birds were very shy. The nest is very thick-walled, consisting of dry twigs 

 and stems of small plants, lined with finer twigs and grasses. The egg (one broken) 

 is of a dirty flesh-colour, all over thickly covered with liver-brown and underlying 

 pale purplish grey spots and patches, and measures 231 by 10-8 mm.
