the scarlet crown patch and the wing and tail quills and wing-coverts 

 are edged with ochraceous or ochraceous rufous. 



A nest containing three fresh eggs was collected at Caicara May 

 4, 1905. The nest was about 9.14 m. from the ground in the same 

 tree with nests of Legatus, Pitangns and Icterus. In the location, shape 

 :ind materials employed, it is similar to nests of M. cayanensis caya- 

 nensis, globular mass of plant fibers and long-bladed grass, placed 

 near the end and pressed in between the forks near the tip of a large 

 horizontal limb. The entrance about 5 cm. in diameter is on the side 

 looking toward the end of the limb. In getting the nest down two of 

 the eggs were broken. The remaining egg is ovate in form, delicate 

 flesh pink in color, quite thickly speckled about the larger end with 

 reddish brown spots overlying other spots of vinaceous brown. The 

 egg measures 20.5 x 19.5 mm. In 1907 sets of eggs were collected 

 April 9th and May 8th. 



The nests and eggs of this species are indistinguishable from those 

 of M. cayennensis.
