The range of gyroloides, as given in the Hand List, being Costa Rica to

Panama, these examples (from Ecuador, like the great majority of the rest

of this wonderful collection) probably = the G. deleticia of the H.L. i.e.

gyroloides of B. & C.’s list.

PLATE. Bird Notes, 1912, p. 4. plate 1.


From ordinary observation apparently the Tanager, usually known as

the “ Blue and Black,” but as this species is a Brazilian one, these birds

may be either T. iridina or calophrys, both of which inhabit Ecuador.
