PiCID/E. 

 -fMELANERPES HOFFMANNI (Cab.). 



As common here as in San Jose. Native name for this 

 family of birds *' Carpintero '' (carpenter). 



-J-Campephilus guatemalensis (Hartl.). 

 Seems to be fairly plentiful. 



MoMOTIDiE. 



-f-MoMOTUs LESsoNi, Less. 



Not so common here as in the interior. Known over the 

 country by the name of " Bobo.^' 



-fEuMOMOTA suPERCiLiARis (Jard. & Selby). 



I looked carefully for this bird in Miravalles^ but was 

 unable ever to see a single specimen ; lower down, however, 

 near Bagaces, it is not uncommon, and in Bebedero it is 

 quite abundant, 



' Prionorhynchus platyrhynchus (Leadb.). 

 But one specimen procured. 



-f- Hylomanes momotula, Licht.^ 



The birds labelled as such I think to be of this species ; they 

 are the first examples, I believe, on record from Costa Rica. 

 I hunted carefully for other specimens, but was unable to 

 procure more than three altogether, one of which remains in 

 the collection of the Museo Nacional of Costa Rica. 



Alcedinid^. 

 --^Ceryle septentrionalis, Sharpc. 

 Fairly abundant in Miravalles. 



TROGONIDiE. 



Trogon elegans, Gould. 



This family of birds are known in this part of the country 

 as "Viuda," the appellation of the Blue Tanager [Tanagra 

 cana) in the interior. 



* [These specimens agree very closely with others from Mexico aud 

 Guatemala. The chestnut of the nape is slightly more diffused. — 0. S.]
