Nov. 1907. BIRDS FROM GUATEMALA DEARBORN. 



Family Taiiagriclae. 



221. Euphonia affinis (Lesson). 



Specimens, five in all, were taken at Gualan, Patulul, Maza- 

 tenango and San Jose. They were found in scattering trees, on culti- 

 vated land, feeding on small fruits. Iris dark brown. 



222. Euphonia hirundinacea Bonaparte. 



This species was seen only at Mazatenango, where three were col- 

 lected. Iris dark brown. 



223. Euphonia gouldi Sclater. 



A single specimen was taken at Los Amates, the only locality in 

 which this species was noticed. Iris dark brown. 



224. Tanagra cana Swainson. 



Blue tanagers were seen at Los Amates, Mazatenango and San 

 Jose. Four specimens were collected. Berries form a large part of 

 their fare. Iris dark brown. 



225. Tanagra abbas Lichtenstein. 



This tanager was common locally up to 5,000 feet. In the series of 

 fourteen skins, Los Amates, Patulul, Mazatenango and Lake Atitlan 

 are represented. Iris dark brown. 



226. Piranga rubra (Linn&us). 



One specimen was taken at Los Amates, but not preserved; four 

 were taken at Gualan, two at Patulul and one at Lake Atitlan. The 

 spring moult on an immature male, taken March 3ist, had progressed 

 over the sinciput, throat and auriculars. Scattering red feathers had 

 also appeared on the breast, interscapulum and rump. Iris dark 

 brown. 



227. Piranga ludoviciana (Wilscn). 



Fifteen specimens, all from the west side of the country, were 

 taken between February 25th and April 2d. Patulul, Mazatenango 

 and Lake Atitlan are the localities from which they came. During 

 the latter part of March these tanagers were so abundant that it is 

 probable they were in migration from some point to the southward, 

 though this species does not appear to have been recorded from south 

 of Gautemala. The spring moult evidently begins early in March,
