13. Phcenicothraupis fuscicauda Cab. 
Abundant. Apparently gregarious. Prefers the most impenetrable 
recesses of the dense forest. 
It is a very silent and rather timid bird as a rule, and the females 
seemed to greatly exceed the males in numbers, both at Sucuya and 
Los Sabalos. Seven specimens secured. 
14. Phlogothraupis sanguinolenta (Less. ). 
Although I only secured one specimen of this bird, Mr. Lange in- 
formed me that it is abundant at Los Sabalos at certain times, when it 
feeds largely on bananas. Iris red. 
14. Arremon aurantiirostris Lafr. 
Rather common. Lives on or near the ground in tangled thickets 
and brush heaps. Three specimens. 
*15. Saltator atriceps Less. 
Abundant. Habits the same as at,Sucuyd. One specimen. ~ 
16. Saltator magnoides (Lafr.). 
Apparently rare. One specimen. 
*17. Saltator grandis Lafr. 
Abundant. Four specimens. 
18. Pitylus poliogaster Du Bus. 
Abundant. Gregarious. Generally seen in small flocks of eight or 
ten in the edge of the forest. Their note is a short whistle rather than 
chirp. It does not seem so timid as many other Tanagers, being more 
noisy and sociable. Three specimens. 
‘Fam. FRINGILLID. 
19. Guiraca concreta (Du Bus). 
Abundant. These birds seemed to be especially partial to the vicinity 
of Mr. Lange’s plantain patch, and also a patch of high marsh grass, 
with occasional brush heaps. Five specimens. 
*20. Oryzoborus funereus Scl.?* 
Apparently common. Habits similar to preceding species. Two 
specimens.

Young 2 (No. 91194, same locality and collector, April 20, 1883): Similar to the 
adult, but rather darker above, with the tertials and wing-coverts very indistinctly 
edged with dull rusty ; fulvous of anterior lower parts more obscured by brown, and 
white of under wing-coverts tinged with ochreous-buff. Bill blackish, but gonys

These specimens are referred with some doubt to O. funereus, the female of which —
