This species was the commonest in the prazo, as can be 

 seen by the number of specimens procured. One was shot 

 in the act of pecking at a wild fig, but it may have been 

 doing so to get at the grubs which infest that fruit. Nesta 

 were started eai'ly in August, but I did not find eggs until 

 the 21st of October, when another nest was also found with 

 newly Latched young ; they were usually made in half- 

 decayed trees at a height of about fifteen feet from the 

 ground. The eggs are white, three in number, and measure 

 23-8-24-7X 18-18-5.

The Lesser Speckled Coly was always common in the 

 neighbourhood of European Stations, where orange-trees 

 were cultivated. 



Apaloderma narina (Steph.). R. 785. (1 M.) Resi-

rData lost.) W. 131 ; Tl. 164 ; Ts. 16 ; C. 19. 



The Narina Trogon was common in dark forest over- 

 hanging streams. Young birds were seen in May and June ; 

 but judging by their call-notes, ^hich were more often 

 heard in October, I think that they breed about that time, 

 and the young retain their juvenile plumage until the 

 following spring.
