 Matos, 3 ex. " Shumjw." Irides very dark hazel ; bill black 



above, nearly so beneath ; legs and feet blue. " On the ground and

30. Ampelion arctjatus (Lafr.). 



Matos, 3 ex. " Asparagun." Irides light hazel ; bill dark red ; 

 legs and feet very deep orange. " Stomach contained fruit. In the 

 trees on the tops of the mountains. A very sweet note." 



The female of this bird wants the black cap of the male, having 

 these parts green like the back, with the throat yellowish, barred 

 with black like the belly. 



31. Ampelion rtjbro-cristatus (Lafr. et D'Orb.). 



Matos and Titiacun, 6 ex. " Cavallero." " Irides red ; bill 

 white, tipped with black ; legs and feet very dark olive. Stomachs 

 contain fruit. A very pretty bird, in the trees active and shy. The 

 moment it alights, it squats down, or as it were lies across the 

 branch." 



Mr. Fraser adds — " sexes said to be alike, though the young 

 differ." But the only female, so marked, is olivaceous, flammu- 

 lated with yellow above and below, and without the red crest. This 

 is perhaps young.
