Common on the flats near Peten, and found on the pine ridges 

 near Belize. 



These birds have a singular habit of spinning round and round on 

 the wing, and then dropping suddenly with wings loose and flutter- 

 ing as though shot, apparently done for amusement. They lay three 

 or four light-coloured eggs in a small nest composed of light grass 

 and lined with cottony materials. 



44. Muscivora mexicana, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 295. 



Mr. Leyland shot, but did not bring home, a single specimen of 

 a bird at Chilomo, which he believes to have belonged to this species. 

 He met with it sitting on a bough in a solitary ravine ; the crest was 

 so little elevated as, though the bird allowed him to approach closely, 

 not to be observed till after it was shot. Though he searched care- 

 fully, he did not succeed in meeting with another specimen. 



45. Tityra person ata (Jard. & Selby). 

 Pine ridges, Belize. 



Common. These are quiet, inactive birds, sitting quietly perched 

 on the broken limbs of the pines ; they are found in company with 

 the Provident Woodpeckers.
