Mr. Salmon sends us examples, with their eggs, of what he considers 

 two different species; but both of them we refer to E. pagana. 



Eggs (no. 1) pale salmon-colour, with a zone of several shades of 

 red spots round the larger end : axis *82, diam. "65. 



Eggs (no. 2) smaller, and less spotted: axis "72, diam. "58. 



Mr. Salmon's notes ou these two forms are as follows : — 



" No. 1 builds a similar nest to the Cardinal, but larger, of dried 

 grass, prettily ornamented on the outside with pieces of bark and 

 white lichen, lined with feathers ; and the situation also is the same. 

 The eggs, two in number, are white, spotted at the larger end with 

 grey and rust-brown, generally extending in a ring round the egg. 



" The bird is easily distinguished from all others by its harsh cry : 

 and it is more restless than any others of the family ; it does not sit 

 silently waiting for its prey, but is continually moving about. 



" No. 2. The nest of this bird is built of coarse dry grass, lined 

 with finer grass and, generally, with any moss or lichen. It is placed 

 upon a horizontal bough near the extremity, at a normal height. The 

 eggs are only two in number, cream-white, spotted at the larger 

 end with small specks of purple and rust-red, often forming a ring." 



172. Elainea frantzii, Lawrence, Ann. L. N. Y. vii. p. 173. 

 Elainea pudica, Scl. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 833. 



Medellin, Sta. Elena. (Mus. P. L.S. and S.-G.) 



Iris dark. Food, insects. Nests on low branches. 



Eggs (no. 17) white, with a few small red spots near the larger 

 end : axis 77, diam. *59. 



Having now received typical specimens of E. frantzii, we find that 

 this Costa-Rican bird is not different from Sclater's E. pudica of 

 Veragua and Colombia. 



173. Myiozetetes texensis (Giraud) ; Scl. P. Z. S. 1871, 

 p. 753. 



Envigado, Medellin. 

 Iris dark. Fruit in stomach. 



Eggs (no. 37) white, spotted, especially at the larger end, with 

 red : axis *82, diam. '62. 



174. Rhynchocycltjs fulvipectus, Scl. P. Z. S. 1876, p. 92. 



Frontino. (Mus. S.-G.) 



Stomach contained insects. 



Eggs (no. 82) white, with an indistinct zone of small very pale 

 red spots: axis - 95, diam. -68. 



Originally described from Ecuador specimens (Fraser), but also 

 occurring in Bogota collections. (Mus. S.-G.)
