498. PioNUs CHALCOPTERUS (Fraser). 



Two males and two females from Santo Domingo. Not 

 common there, and met with in pairs. Bill yellow horn- 

 coloured. Bare skin round the eyes red. 



499. Urochroma hueti (Temm.). 



A male from near Baeza. Found in small flocks. 



500. Urochroma stictoptera Scl. 



UrochToma stictoptera Scl.; Salvad. Cat. B. xx. p. 357. 



One male of this rare Parrot was obtained in the forests a 

 little below Baeza. Only two examples were seen. Bill 

 "whitish horn-coloured. 



501. PSITTACULA C/ELESTIS LcSSOU. 



A male from Manta, on the western coast. Seen in small 

 flocks outside the town and along the sea-shore. 



502. Brotogerys virescens (Gm.). 



A very common bird on the Lower Napo, but unknown 

 on the upper parts of the river. On our canoe-journey down 

 the stream we found it congregating along the banks by 

 thousands in the evening. If disturbed the flocks flew around 

 with such deafening cries that it was impossible to hear each 

 other speak. Our Indians delighted in disturbing them. 

 They roosted in trees growing in marshy ground and where 

 the river-banks were less dense than elsewhere. They were 

 nesting on the Maranon in August. 



503. Brotogerys jugularis (Deville). 



Fairly numerous on the upper parts of the Napo, but not 

 seen by us on the lower parts of the river. We saw young 

 in the possession of the Indians in April. 



504. Brotogerys tui (Gm.). 



First seen by us on the Lower Napo near the mouth of 

 the Curari. Just after we entered the Maranon our Indians 

 discovered a nest a little way off" in the forest. It was about 

 twenty feet from the ground, in the hollow of a branch. It 

 contained five young, some almost fully fledged, while others 

 had hardly a feather on them. I reared several of these and 

 brought them to England with me.
