Bangs Collection: Bolson, Miravalles, and Tenorio (Underwood). 

 Carnegie Museum: Bebedero, Miravalles, Bagaces (Carriker). Twenty 



skins. 



This is a very abundant bird in some parts of Guanacaste, enough 

 so to make it a nuisance to the collector, like Psilorhinus in the 

 interior. 



It is restricted to the central and northern portion of Nicoya and Guana- 

 caste, and is most abundant in the hills, although found in smaller numbers 

 in the low country of che Tempisque Valley. It frequents scrubby wood- 

 land and isolated clumps of trees, and is very noisy, the note somewhat 

 resembling that of Psilorhinus, although easily distinguished.
