" Nauta, Upper and Lower Ucayali, and Santa Cruz. This species 

 and the following are solitary in their breeding-habits, selecting the 

 lower and more secluded banks of lakes and small streams. These 

 birds never breed twice in the same hole ; but many other birds take 

 to their deserted nests." — E. B. 



4. Ceryle inda (Linn.). 



" This beautiful species is very rare on the waters of the Peruvian 

 Amazons. During the four years I resided there I only obtained 

 two specimens, which I shot in a small brook near Santa Cruz, on 

 the Huallaga river. They are not found on the open waters, but 

 in the densely covered small streams. The nest is in holes in the 

 banks, as in the case of other Kingfishers. This species is extremely 

 shy and difficult to obtain. " — E. B.
