46 MR. A. BOUCARD ON BIRDS FROM COSTA RICA. [Jail. 15, 



Ordo Psittaci. 



Subfamily Arainjs. 



35. Ara MACAO, L. 



Native name " Guacamaya." 



Common at San Carlos. Every morning they fly about in large 

 flocks. In the daytime you can see them in the forest eating fruit ; 

 they are easily detected by the noise they make, and by the rejected 

 pieces of fruit constantly falling down from the trees on which they 

 are perched. 



36. Ara militaris, L. 



San Carlos, Sarzero, February. 



37. Conurus hoffmanni, Cab. 



Native name " Perico." 



Several specimens killed at the foot of the Candelaria Mountains. 

 I have also seen small flocks at Aguas Calientes, near Cartago. When 

 flying they appear excessively beautiful : this is due principally to 

 the conspicuous colour of their wings. 



38. Conurus astec, Souance. 



Native name " Perico." 



One specimen killed at San Carlos, amongst a large flock eating 

 fruit and seeds in the forest, February.
