15. Ptilogonys cinereus (Sw.), sp. 59. 

 Coban and Volcan de Fuego. 



In the Volcan de Fuego, at an elevation of 6000 feet above the 

 sea-level, I found this bird abundant in the early part of July. 

 In its manner of taking its food it much resembles a Tyrant-bird 

 {Tyrannus), but, besides seizing insects in the air, hops about 

 the branches, apparently in search of other prey.
