used, for I have found tliem to be very silent birds, probably because 

 I have not observed tbem in the cold weather. Their other cries 

 -are not unlike the less harsh sounds made by Mypsipetes, and, when 

 angry or frightened, they utter, as already mentioned, a cry almost 

 exactly like that of Molpastes pt/gwus. 



I have never observed this bird below 4,500 feet, and seldom as 

 low as that.
