Ivathcr (ioiumon. Not sccii durini;' siimiiicr, but specimeus obtaiued 

 Aii4>ust 30, after Avbichdateit was coiuiiioii. At CIreytowu this species 

 and T. cinerciim are found in much the same i)Uices, but, while the 

 latter is bold and defiant in its actions and notes, this bird isipiiet and 

 letiring-; I did not liear it utter a note at any tinu;. On the Escondido 

 it Avas observed in o]>en places in the forest, whei-e it kept in tlie under- 

 growth.

 bles that bird. First taken September 4.

Not common. A specimen taken at Greytown and two others on

Common in bamboos on the Escondido, and in bushy thickets in the 

 vicinity of San Carlos. Taken also at (hcytown. Has a weak note 

 which it frequently utters while searching ibr food. It is very indus- 

 trious, almost constantly on the move, though acting in a leisurely 

 manner. Numerous deserted nests found in the bamboos prol)ably 

 belonge<l to this species. Tlicy were shallow structures, attached to 

 forks at the extremities of the bamboos, covered outwardly with green 

 moss, and usually suspended over water. An ininiature bird differs 

 from tlie adult in being lemon yellow below, instead of <;anary yellow; 

 wing bars yellowish butt"; tail tipi)ed with yellowish ])uff; feathers of 

 back, upper tail coverts, crown, and hind neck also edged with the
