Carriker: List of the Birds of Costa Rica. 425 



XXIV, 1896, 12. — SALVIN and Godman, Biol. Centr. Am., Aves, III, 339 

 ( Frantzius' record). 

 Evidently a very rare straggler in Costa Rica, since we know of but 

 a single bird having been taken there by Frantzius at San Jose. It is 

 found quite commonly to the north and to the south of Costa Rica and 

 it is rather odd that it should be so rare here, where conditions in the 

 central highlands are quite suitable for its presence.

Bangs Collection : Bolson (Underwood). 



Carnegie Museum : Bebedero (Carriker). One skin. 



With the exception of Dr. Richmond's record from Rio Frio, all 

 the specimens known to have been collected in Costa Rica came from 

 the basin of the Tempisque River in Guanacaste, namely, La Palma, 

 Bebedero, and Bolson. The one recorded by Salvin in 1870 was no 

 doubt taken by Arce while collecting at Bebedero. They are found 

 in the forests which border the rivers of that region and are very shy.
