note: — "I undoubtedly met with A. tibialis when descending the Cordillera from 

 Bucaramanga, at an elevation of about 1000 feet, and shot three or four specimens ; but 

 the vegetation was so dense that it was impossible to get them, unless they had chanced 

 to fall on the path. There was a large flock of them, and some of them allowed me to 

 approach within three or four yards, as they sat on a tree-fern. This was opposite to 

 the locality where Salmon obtained the species, but on the other side of the Magdalena." 

 A single specimen was obtained near Cosnipata in Peru, by Mr. Henry Whitely, but it 

 has not yet been found in any of the intervening localities. 



Mr. Salmon states that the nest was made of dry grass and was placed in the hole 

 of a bank. 



The descriptions and figure are taken from specimens in the Salvin-Godman collec- 

 tion, and now in the British Museum.
