Two examples of this bird were obtained by Salvin at Duenas 

 on July 31st. " In habits and cry this species is very like a 

 Myiarchus ; indeed for several days I mistook these very birds 

 for Myiarchus laurencii, which is common here." — 0. S. 



The present species is certainly a typical Elainia, closely allied 

 to E.pagana of South America, the type of the genus, but dif- 

 fering in its larger dimensions, more obscure plumage above, 

 particularly upon the head, and purer grey throat. — P. L. S.
