 1881.] 



M. Taczanowski communicates M. Stolzmann's observa- 

 tions on Steatornis, extracted from his letters. M. Stolz- 

 mann met with this wonderful bird in two localities in Peru — 

 Ninabamba in the Department of Caxamarca, and Huabamba 

 in the Department of Amazonas, — and, besides visiting the 

 caves where it passes the day, also observed it in the forests 

 at nio-ht. Here it resorts to the trees of various species of 

 Nectandra, and plucks their fruits, fluttering over the ends 

 of the branches. The hard seeds of these fruits, as observed 

 by M. Stolzmann in a living specimen of Steatornis, ai'e 

 rejected by the mouth.
