cinnamonieus." I find however that those from western Bocas del 

 Toro agree best with fulvidior. 



A nest collected by Dr. Pedro Galindo at Almirante May 23, 1962, 

 was a globular structure woven of long barklike fibers, and longer, 

 threadlike rootlets, with small dried leaves mixed through it, espe- 

 cially at the base. The opening, at one end, was concealed beneath 

 a drooping mass of fibers. The cup inside was lined with thin bits of 

 dried leaves. It measured about 120 mm in width by 200 mm long and 

 was 100 mm in height. Another, that Dr. Galindo collected May 26, 

 1962, made of the same kinds of material, was larger and more sub- 

 stantial, and also more firmly made. The opening was in one side, 

 with the cup of somewhat softer materials. This one measured 170 

 by 250 mm, with a height of 130 mm. 



Skutch (Pac. Coast Avif., no. 35, 1969, pp. 52-55) relates that a 

 nest seen in Costa Rica during construction, was built by the female 

 alone, although the male was regularly present. The three nests 

 examined, placed from 4^ to 15 meters from the ground, were similar 

 to the two found by Galindo. As they were inaccessible, the eggs 

 were not described. Only the female incubated, though later the 

 male gave some assistance in feeding the young.

Measurements. — Males (10 from Canal Zone, eastern Province of 

 Panama and western San Bias), wing 76.6-79.5 (78.0), tail 54.0-
