GARTERED TROGON 



a low whistle of about four ascending notes, 

 answering an imitation of its call as long as it 

 was attempted. Several of both sexes were 

 seen at Barro Colorado in April, 1926. The 

 ascending call, and one of a long followed by two 

 short notes were heard. The orange yellow of 

 the abdomen appears to be even a more protec- 

 tive coloration than the red of C. massena, as it 

 was often difficult to distinguish them even when 

 looking directly at them.
