 These birds were seen in pairs on Corazonin September, but 

 singly on the Eastern Andes in February, 



174. Sayornis cineracea (Lafr.). 



Two (^s, San Nicolas, in the forests of the Pacific side, 

 and one S from Papallacta, Eastern Ecuador, 11,500 feet. 

 The latter has the wing-coverts edged with cinnamon. Tliey 

 frequent stones in the river-beds and dead stumps in marshy 

 places. Iris reddish brown. 



175. CopuRUs coLoNus (Vieill.). 



One male, Archidona, Eastern Ecuador. Rare in this 

 region, for we never saw but one specimen. 



176. MuscisAxicoLA ALPiNA Jard. 



Two (Js, 1 ? , Pichincha, 15,000 feet, and one ? shot near 

 the summit of the Guamani Pass, Eastern Andes, 16,000 

 feet. These birds are solitary in their habits and sit about 

 among the grey cinders, consequently tlic)^ are difficult to 

 see, while they do not take wing until one is close to them. 



177. Platyrhynchus albogularis Scl. 



Two c?s, 1 ? . San Nicolas and Gualea, in the western 

 forests. This species is generally to be observed in the 

 evening, and always singly. It frequents low bushes near 

 the edges of the forest, where the ground is damp and marshy. 

 It has a curious note^ much resembling the croak of some 

 kinds of frogs.
