Rather a rare bird in Costa Rica, ranging over the central plateau up to 

 at least 6,000 feet (perhaps higher) and over the Pacific slope down as low 

 as about 1,000 feet. I met with only two birds, but was at once attracted 

 by their beautiful song. The bird shot on the Volcan Turrialba was 

 perched in the top of a rather small tree on the edge of a pasture, well 

 concealed by the leaves, and singing so loudly that I heard it at some dis- 

 tance away, when being struck by it as something new to me I investigated 

 and secured the bird. Mr. Cherrie also mentions this species as a beautiful 

 and tireless songster for about five months in the year (Auk, 1892, 23).

 This is another of the Panaman species which gets only into the south- 

 western portion of the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica, probably not much 

 farther north than the Pirris Valley. It is very similar to the bird of the 

 Caribbean lowlands, differing only in having the forehead and the top of 

 the head green, with the blue band across the nape narrower.
