Like all members of the genus they are found singly or in pairs, fre- 

 quenting the edges of the forest, second-growth timber, or bushy pas- 

 tures, and are very shy and seldom seen. This species seems confined 

 to the northwestern portion of Costa Rica and is probably to be found 

 throughout the peninsula of Nicoya and Guanacaste, down the eastern 

 side of the Gulf of Nicoya and upwards on the plateau region for a 

 short distance. Although Boucard records a specimen from San 

 Carlos, I do not believe its regular range extends beyond the Pacific 

 watershed, and if it really was taken at San Carlos, it is an unusual 

 occurrence. 



7. Crypturus boucardi (Sclater). 



Tinamus boucardi Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1859, 391 (S. Mexico 



[Boucard]). 

 Crypturus boucardi Salvin, Ibis, 1870, 1 15 (Costa Rica [Carmiol]). — Boucakd, 



Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, 42 (San Carlos, Feb. 1877). — Zeledon, An. 



Mus. Nac. de C. R., I, 1887, 128 (Pacuare). — Salvadori, Cat. Birds Brit. 



Mus., XXVII, 1895, 544 (Costa Rica [Carmiol]).— Underwood, Ibis, 1896, 



449 (Miravalles, very rare). — Salvin and Godman, Biol. Centr.-Am., Aves, 



III, 457 (Costa Rica). 



Bangs Collection: Cerro de Santa Maria and Tenorio (Underwood). 

 C. H. Lankester Collection : Guanacaste. 



The immature birds of this species have a marked resemblance to 

 the adults of C. cinnamomeus in the barring of the wings and lower 

 back, so that it is not impossible that the bird collected by Boucard 

 at San Carlos and called C. cinnamomeus should really be referred to 

 the present species. 



The species seems to be found in the thick forest more than either 

 of the other two species of the genus, resembling Tinamus in its habits 

 more than Crypturus. There are very few records of its occurrence
