and are very tame. We shot two at Tulcar, on the northern 

 frontier, but they did not appear to be so common there as 

 they were around Quito. lu Ecuador this species is doubt- 

 less confined to the central region, for we met with it neither 

 on the eastern nor the western sides. The female has a 

 shorter crest than the male. 



188. An^retes agilis Scl. 



Four cJ s, 2 ? s, from the eastern slopes of Pichincha, 

 Pedregal, and from Papallacta, Eastern Andes, 11,500 feet. 

 The single male from Pedregal differs from all the others in 

 being of a lighter and browner shade throughout. This 

 species is very local, and we never observed more than a pair 

 together. The few we saw at Papallacta were among the 

 ruins of the mud huts, and I caught one in the thatch of ours, 

 where it had gone to roost for the night. 



189. MioNECTEs oLivACEus (Lawr.). 



Four cJ s, 2 ? s. The males we shot at San Nicolas and 

 Gualea and the two females at Canzacota. The latter have 

 the under wing-coverts strongly shaded with olive-green, 

 which the males have not. Found singly in the higher trees 

 where most covered with creepers. 



190. Leptopogon pckcilotis Scl. 



One male from the lower western side of Pichincha. 



191. Tyranniscus nigricapillus (Lafr.). 



Two c? s, 2 $ s. From the western slopes of Pichincha and 

 Corazon. This was the only species of Tyranniscus we found 

 singly. It frequented high trees and was not common. 

 The females have shorter wings than the males, the outer 

 margins being edged with cinnamon. 



192. Tyranniscus cinereiceps (Scl.). 

 Two c? s, 1 ? . Intag. Iris light yellow, 



193. Tyranniscus chrysops Scl, 



Four (5^8, 6 ? s. Gualea, Intag, and Nono, West Ecuador. 

 In small flocks, and fairly numerous in the more open parts.
