is not abundant on the San Lorenzo, where it occurs as a bird of the 

 Subtropical Zone, between S,ooo and 8,000 feet, in the virgin forest 

 only, almost always keeping high up in the trees. It was more com- 

 mon at San Miguel and the Cerro de Caracas, at the former place 

 occurring out in the open, feeding from the flowers of the banana-plant. 

 At the latter locality it was found in the forest or along its edge, 

 between 9,000 and 11,000 feet. On no occasion was it seen above 

 11,000 feet, and it is rare above 10,000 feet. It is very swift on the 

 wing, darting about with dazzling quickness, and hovering but an 

 instant over a flower. It is very fond of feeding from the blossoms 

 of the bromelias, which grow so abundantly on all the trees from 

 about 3,000 feet upwards.
