4- Salpinctes guttatus, Salv. & Godm.^ 



In the forest-bordered pasture-grounds of Miravalles one 

 sees, dotted here and there, collections of liciien-covered 

 boulders. The first specimen of this bird that I shot was 

 perched on one of these stone piles. It was strange to me, and 

 I searched carefully for more, but found it rare ; however, 

 I succeeded in getting three or four others myself, and had 

 one or two brought me by a native hunter, whom I had 

 instructed where to look for it. All ot' them Avere taken on 

 these stone heaps, nor have I seen them elsewhere.
