Journey throuyh Colombia and Ecuador. 217 



480. Pteroglossus flavirostris Fraser. 



A male from the Coca. Skin around tte eyes red ; legs 

 and feet dark green. 



481. Andigena laminirostris Gould. 



A male from Milligalli, Western Ecuador, 6000 feet. The 

 only example which we saw there during our visit in 

 September, but the bird appears to be more numerous at 

 other seasons. It is met with singly or in pairs. 



482. Andtgena hypoglaucus Gould. 



Two males and a female from Papallacta, Eastern Ecuador, 

 11,500 feet. This Toucan is probably found at a higher 

 elevation than any other. It seemed strange to us at first 

 to find it where the nights were frosty and the days cold 

 and miserable when the sun did not shine. In this genus 

 the colours of the bills do not appear to change very much 

 after death. Dark sealing-wax-red is the predominating 

 colour in that of this species. The female is greenish on 

 the flanks and is smaller than the male. 



483. Andigena spilorhynchus (Gould). 



A male from the Eastern Andes between Papallacta and 

 Baeza. 



484. Aulacorhamphus h^matopygius (Gould). 



Six males and three females from various localities in 

 Western Ecuador at about 3000 or 4000 feet elevation. 

 They are more often found singly than in pairs, higher or 

 lower as the forest fruits ripen, and seem quiet and rather 

 inactive. As they frequent the bushes and low trees of 

 the forests, their green plumage blends with the foliage, and 

 they are somewhat difficult to detect, especially as they sit 

 motionless for a long time together. Bill dark dull red. 



485. Aulacorhamphus albivitta (Briss.). 



Two males and four females from Baeza and the neigh- 

 bourhood. This Toucanet takes the place in Eastern 

 Ecuador of A. hcEinatopygius of the western side. Thev 

 have similar habits, but perhaps the present species frequents 

 the open hill-sides a little more. Bare skin around the eye;;
