This beautiful Ptilogonys is very abundant on the high volcanoes, just 

 below timber-line, extending downwards in lessening numbers to about 

 6,000 feet, which I believe to be the lowest altitude at which it is found. 

 There must be an error in Lawrence's record for this bird from San Jose, 

 for I am sure it does not descend to 3,500 feet.
