This new form of Woodhewer was first observed at Quiribana 

 de Caicara, where two specimens were taken in April, 1898 ; but it 

 was rarely seen until beyond the falls of Atures, beyond which point 

 it was abundant. In habits it did not seem to differ from its con- 

 geners, being strictly a bird of the thick forest. Specimens v/ere 

 collected at Quiribana de Caicara, Bichaco, Perico, Maipures and 

 Munduapo, also one is included by Berlepsch and Hartert from Suapure 

 on the Caura River.
