Carriker : List of the Birds of Costa Rica. 591 



Costa Rica, all adults in good plumage, and all were taken in the 

 forest along the Sicsola River at not more than ioo feet above sea-level. 

 They were all taken rather low down on the tree-trunks.

Celeus castaneus is also a rare woodpecker not only in Costa Rica, 

 but throughout its whole range, although I believe it is more abun- 

 dant in Costa Rica than its near relative, C. loricatus. Like the pre- 

 ceding species it is confined entirely to the heavy forests of the hot 

 lowlands of the Caribbean coast, and is very rarely met with. I have 

 always seen them in pairs, and have always managed to secure nearly 

 all birds seen. I found it in the same locality with loricatus on the 

 Rio Sicsola.
