382 Mr. E. L. Layard on Birds observed at Para. 



18th of September, 1872. Its stomach contained a large 

 seed, or berry, swallowed whole. 



37. COLOPTERUS GALEATUS (Bodd.) . 



Shot on the 4th of January, 1873, darting at insects at 

 rest on the underside of leaves, the snap of its bill being au- 

 dible at several yards distance. Unfortunately my charge, 

 small as it was, cut it all to pieces ; so I could not distinguish 

 the sex. 



| 38. MlONECTES OLEAGINEUS, Cab. 



The only specimen procured of this little bird was shot on 

 the 1st of October, 1872, from a high tree. Its stomach con- 

 tained insects. 



39. Phyllomyias semifusca, Scl. 



This little Tyrant is common in gardens, generally in pairs, 

 frequenting the orange-trees and feeding on insects. I found 

 them here, at San Juao, in July ; and they are still here while 

 I write (beginning of November). They probably migrate 

 during the rainy season. 



40. Ornithion incanescens (Max.). 



Killed in my garden at Nazare (November 11th) — a single 

 specimen. 



41. TYRANNISCUS GRAC1LIPES, Scl. 



Found in gardens. Feeds on insects. 



42. Elainea pagana (Licht.) . 



Shot in my garden (4th of August) . Stomach contained 

 large green seeds. 



-J- 43. Legatus albicollis (Vieill.). 



This broad-billed Flycatcher I killed on a forest-tree on the 

 4th of August, 1872. Its stomach contained insects. 



44. Myiozetetes similis, Spix. 



The lesser "Bem-te-vie" has just the same habits as the 

 larger bird, Tyrannus melancholicus, but is scarcer. It feeds 

 indiscriminately on seeds and insects. I shot one on the 

 ground by the side of a pond, picking up flies.
