V. de Chiriqui. 
This species, in Guatemala at least, is frequently found associating 
with the last on the same tree, where they assemble, perhaps half a 
dozen together, to feed on ants.

Mina de Chorcha ; Bugaba. 
This lowland forest species is distributed over the whole of Central 
America, from Mexico to this point; it is not, however, found at 
Panama. This species was formerly considered by writers on Central- 
American ornithology (except Cabanis) to be the P. lineaticeps of 
Lafresnaye (see Cabunis, /. ¢.). 
80. PicoLapTes arFinis (Lafr.); Scl. Cat. Am. B. p. 166. 
V. de Chiriqui. 
This species, unlike the last, frequents only the forests of the up- 
land districts of Central America and the forest-belts of the higher 
volcanoes. It occurs at intervals from Mexico to Veragua, keeping, 
however, its specific characters with great constancy. 
81. X1IPHORHYNCHUS PUSILLUS, Scl. P. Z. S. 1860, p. 278. 
Boqueti de Chitra. 
Three specimens of this curious form sent by Arcé agree with the 
type of X. pusi/lus in Sclater’s collection, and present none of those 
perplexing variations observable in X. ¢trochil/irostris and its allies. 
Xiphorhynchus pusillus may be readily recognized hy its dark 
coloured bill, which is not red, as in some allied species, nor black 
as in X. procurvus, Temm. The plumage, too, is dark-coloured, and 
the elongated stripes are narrow. The species is not smaller than
