YELLOW-MARGINED FLYCATCHER 



A bird frequenting the borders of the forest 

 and jungle; recorded from Lion Hill Station and 

 near Panama City. Specimens from Gatun 

 (May 28 and July 2, 1911), are reported by 

 Jewel, who describes the nest, placed on a 

 branch overhanging the water. This is prob- 

 ably the commonest species of the genus in the 

 Canal Zone.
