 Carnegie Museum : Juan Vinas (Lankester). One skin. 



This is a very rare toucan in Costa Rica, and until recently very 

 few specimens were in existence from that country. During his two 

 trips to Costa Rica (1905 and 1908) Mr. Ridgway secured eleven 

 skins from Guayabo and Bonilla. It had been taken by several col- 

 lectors at Juan Vinas, but I was unable to find it there, although I 

 spent over two months in the vicinity. 



It seems to be confined almost entirely to the Caribbean slope be- 

 tween the altitudes of about 1,500 to 3,500 feet. The only specimen 

 I know of that was taken elsewhere was one from the Aguacate 

 Mountains by Underwood. It is a bird of the forest, and with habits 

 more like those of Rhamphastos than Pterog/ossus.
