 Duenas, September 1859. I obtained but two specimens of 



this species, which does not appear to be common. 



12. Basileuterus brasieri (Giraud) : Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1856, p. 292. 



1 have only observed this species in the Volcano. It has 

 many of the habits of a Seiophaga, the characters of which genus 

 I have had more frequent opportunities of watching in the species 

 S. flammea and S. picta than in the better known S. ruticilla. 

 Like the rest of the Mniotiltida, they are restless in the pursuit 

 of food, thoroughly searching every twig and leaf, even the 

 bark of the main stem, for insects of every kind that may there 

 lie hidden.

Duenas. Two specimens only were obtained of this species, 

 as distinguished (/. c.) from its near allies, B. riijifrons of Mexico 

 and B. mesochrysus of New Granada. 



14. EuTHLYPis LACRYMOSA (Cab.) : Mus. Hein. p. 19. 

 Alotenango, September 1859. Much nearer a Setophaga in 



its habits than anything else. Most of the Setophaga may at 

 once be recognized by the curious way they have of keeping the 

 tail expanded and swaying it from side to side. 



15. ViREO NOVEBORACENSIS (Gm.). 



Coban, November 1859. Only one example, agreeing with 

 N. American specimens. 



16. Cham^ospiza torquata (DuBus): Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1858, p. 304. 



Volcan de Fuego, September 1859. This bird I have only 

 found in the Volcano. It skulks about the thick underwood, 

 and scratches among the dead leaves for its food.
