A FLYING TRIP TO THE TROPICS. 



36. Ara MACAO (Linn.). Eed and Yellow Macaw. 



I saw in the market at Barranquilla an Indian with one of 

 these macaws, and was told that it had been caught a short dis- 

 tance up the river. 



37. Ara Moroptera {G-ray)! Blue and Red Macaw. 



I saw frequently along the river a large macaw, blue, green, 

 and scarlet, but without yellow on the wings. It may possibly be 

 of this species. The general name for macaw is " Guacamayo." 



38. Aka severa (Linn.). Severe Macaw. 



I saw but the two specimens which I shot on June 28. 

 Descourtilz, Orn. Bresll. 



39. CoNURUS ^RUGiNOSUS (LiNN.). Gray-faced Parrakeet. 



This parrakeet was extremely abundant around Barranquilla ; 

 but I did not see it higher up the river. Flocks flew over the 

 town in a steady stream about daybreak, and just before sunset. 



40. Brotogerys jugularis (Deville). Orange-chinned Parrakeet. 

 I saAV large flocks of this parrakeet all along the Magdalena 



as high up as Honda. 



41. PsiTTACULA coNSPiciLLATA (Lafr.). Bluc-rumped Parrakeet. 

 This little j^arrakeet I saw along the upper portion of the 



Magdalena, in some cases associated with flocks of the preceding 

 species. They were common at Guaduas. They fly just like 

 English sparrows. PI. in this work. 



42. PiONUs menstruus (Linn.). Blue-headed Parrot. 



I saw this parrot only once, when Mr. Lindauer shot one out 

 of a small flock. This was not far below Yeguas. 



43. Amazona 2^cinamensis (Cah.)? Common Green Parrot. 



I saw everywhere at Barranquilla, Honda, and Guaduas in the 

 huts of the natives a green parrot with yellow forehead and 

 scarlet wing edgings. It was probably of this species, though, 

 as I obtained no specimen, I have marked it doubtful. 



44. Crotoj^haga sulcirostris (Swains.) ? Grooved-bill Ani. 



I saw these birds in abundance at Barranquilla, Honda, and 

 Guaduas ; but though I shot several, they were all in poor plu-
