This new form of Woodhewer was first observed at Quiribana 

 de Caicara, where two specimens were taken in April, 1898 ; but it 

 was rarely seen until beyond the falls of Atures, beyond which point 

 it was abundant. In habits it did not seem to differ from its con- 

 geners, being strictly a bird of the thick forest. Specimens were 

 collected at Quiribana de Caicara, Bichaco, Perico, Maipures and 

 Munduapo, also one is included by Berlepsch and Hartert from Suapure 

 on the Caura River. 



In the American Museum collection are two specimens taken by 

 Klages on the Caura River; a male at Maripa, January 24th and a 

 female at La Union, September 26th.
