• 122. Ceryle torquata. 



Common about the Lake of Paturia, and on the Magda- 

 lena. Seems to occur only in the low country. 



•123. Ceryle amazonia. 



This Kingfisher occurs by the mountain-streams at an eleva- 

 tion of 4000 feet ; also in the low country. We shot it by the 

 Rio de Oro, near La Cruz, and on the Lake of Paturia. 



^124. Ceryle Americana. 



The smallest of the Alcedinidse which came under our obser- 

 vation. It frequents mountain -streams in the neighbourhood of 

 Ocaiia and Bucaramanga. I am not certain whether we saw it 

 in the low country or not ; but while canoeing from Paturia to 

 the Dique, we observed a species very much like it, if not iden- 

 tical. The deep-ferruginous throat only occurs in the male, the 

 throat of the female being very slightly tinged. 



125. Galbula rufo-viridis. 

 Paturia and Catamucho.
