Carnegie Museum: El Hogar, Mar. 21, 1907, cT (Carriker). One 



skin. 



Evidently a very rare bird in Costa Rica, there seeming to be but 

 one published record of its occurrence there (San Jose [Frantzius] ). 

 The single male which I secured at El Hogar was found in the thick 

 forest, hidden away in a clump of vines in a low tree. Mr. Bangs has 

 two skins from Panama. 



178. Glaucidium griseiceps Sharpe. 



Glaucidium griseiceps Sharpe, Ibis, 1875, pp. 41, 259, PI. II, f. 2. — Sharpe,

The first and only specimen of this species ever taken in Costa Rica 

 is that recorded by Mr. Bangs. The bird is quite typical.

This species ranges over both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes and 

 the lower portions of the plateau region, but is more common in the 

 vicinity of San Jose and the upper part of the Pacific slope. I have 

 but one record from the lowlands of the eastern side (Carrillo).
