Journey through Colombia and Ecuador. 459 



They also eat the young green shoots from some undeter- 

 mined bush or plant. 



60. EupHONiA NiGRicoLLis (VieilL). 



Eight males and one female from Guapalo^ near Quito 

 (8100 feet), and from the western side of Pichincha at about 

 the same altitude. I was told that they but rarely come 

 quite up to Quito, while they are only occasional visitors to 

 Guapalo. They are generally met with in small flocks, and 

 keep to the highest trees. One of our specimens is orange 

 over the nostrils. 



61. EuPHONiA RUFivENTRis (VieilL). 



A male from the mouth of the Coca River, Upper Eio 

 Napo, E. Ecuador. A skin in the British Museum, collected 

 by Buckley, must be labelled '' Intaj " by an error, as it is 

 unlikely that a bird found down on the Napo should also 

 be found high up on the Pacific side of the Andes. 



62. EuPHONiA SATURATA Cab. 



Two males from Archidona, Eastern Ecuador, shot in the 

 forest, 



63. EuPHONIA XANTHOGASTRA Suud. 



Nine males and five females from Santo Domingo and 

 Gualea, W. Ecuador, where they were not rare in the 

 forests. Small flocks of five or six were generally found 

 hunting about together among the thick parasitical plants. 



64. Tanagrella calophrys (Cab.). 



A male from the mouth of the Coca, Upper Rio Napo, 

 May 1899. Shot in the clearing near the hut. The bird 

 is evidently rare in this locality, as the Indians seemed to be 

 unacquainted with it. 



65. Chlorochrysa bourcieri (Bp.). 



Chlorochrysa bourcieri, Berl. et Tacz. P. Z. S. 1885, p. 77. 



Baeza, E. Ecuador (5000 feet). We only saw one pair, 

 which were searching among the parasitical plants that 

 thickly covered the tree-trunks on the edge of the forest. 

 They appeared to have much the same habits as Calliste. 

 Doubtless confined to the eastern side of the Eastern Andes.
