294 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON [Mar. 4, 



is found, like all other species of this genus, in the dense forest in 

 pairs. These birds resort to the same trees from day to day. They 

 are very pugnacious, and are easily attracted by imitating their 

 call-notes."— E. B. 



Fam. Galbulid^e. 



The remarkable generic form Galbalcyrhynchus is, I believe, pecu- 

 liar to Upper Amazonia. It was originally described as from Bogota ; 

 but we have never met with it in collections from that locality.

Chamicuros and Santa Cruz (E. B.). 



Whether Jacamerops isidori, Deville (R. Z. 1849, p. 5), obtained 

 at Pebas, is really distinct is perhaps doubtful. If so, both species 

 occur in the same district.

 common (E. B.). 



Fam. Bucconid^e. 



Of the thirteen Bucconidse several are species peculiar to this 

 district, such as B. picatus, B. pulmentum, Monasa nigrifrons, and 

 Monasa peruana. Bucco macrodactylus and Monasa fiamrostris also 

 occur in Bogota collections, but are probably brought from the 

 Amazonian watershed.

"Chyavetas and Chamicuros. Found more in the hilly and dry 

 country, and always near the ground, hunting for beetles and other 

 insects."— E. B 3
