8. List or Brrps COLLECTED By Mr. Fraser 1n Ecuapor, AT 
NaneGAL, Cauacaui, PerucHo, AND PUELLARO; WITH 
Notes anp Descriptions or New Species. By Puitip

(Aves, Pl. CL) 
The localities at which this part of Mr. Fraser’s collections was 
formed are all situated northwards of Quito at different heights on 
the western slope of the Andes in the valleys traversed by branches 
of the Rio Perucho, which joins the Esmeraldas and enters the 
Pacific. Nanegal was visited in February 1859. Its altitude above 
the sea is about 4000 feet. It lies on the western slope of Pichincha, 
10 leagues from Quito. Many of the birds of Nanegal were also 
found at Pallatanga ; but there are many interesting novelties amongst 
them, such as Basileuterus semicervinus, Pipreola jucunda, Pipra 
deliciosa, and others, which have not been obtained elsewhere. I 
have added to the list the names of a few species which formed part 
of a small series contained in Mr. Fraser’s former collections from 
this same locality. 
In March Mr. Fraser ascended to Calacali, situated due north of 
Quito, at a height of 8000 feet above the sea-level. Turdus gigas 
was very common here; Agriornis andicola, Pecilothraupis lunulata, 
Diglosse aterrima and personata, Phrygilus alaudinus, Muscisazi- 
cola maculirostris, Ampelion rubricristatus, and Lesbia gracilis may 
be considered characteristic of this elevation. 
Perucho and Puellaro, Mr. Fraser’s next two stations, lie on the 
further side of the river at elevations of about 6300 and 6500 feet 
respectively. In April he quitted the latter of these places for a 
station on the wooded heights above at an elevation of 8000 feet. 
Of the species met with here, Ampelion rubrocristatus, Octhoéca 
lessoni, Meltalura tyrianthina, and Ortalida montagnii appear to 
have been common. j 
In the localities above mentioned 130 species were obtained alto- 
gether, of which I now give the names.
