A FLYING TRIP TO THE TROPICS. 



could be seen buzzing about in the treetops^ but at too great a 

 distance to recognize tliem, unless they were of peculiar shape 

 or size. My brother saw one at Guaduas which he described as 

 having a scarlet back. 



71. MiLVULUS TYRANNUS (LiNN.). Fork-tailcd Flycatcher. 



I saw a few at Guaduas and a good many at Honda. Their 

 flight was extremely graceful. Aud. B, of N. A, vol. 1^ 

 pi. 52. 



72. Tyrannus melancholicus (Yieill.). Melancholy Flycatcher. 



73. Myiozetetes cayennensis (Linn.). Cayenne Flycatcher. 

 These flycatchers were common all along from Barranquilla to 



Honda, and around Guaduas. 



74. Megarhynclius intaiujua [Linn,) ? Pitangua Flycatcher. 



The large-billed, rufous, and yellow flycatcher which we got at 

 Barranquilla was probably of this species ; but as I did not bring 

 back a specimen, I have marked it doubtful. 



75. Fluvicola pica (Bodd.). Pied Flycatcher. 



This conspicuous little bird was abundant in the marshes around 

 Barranquilla, and I saw others at points higher up the river. 



76. Xanthosomus icterocephalus (Linn.). Yellow - headed 



Blackbird. 



I saw large flocks of this bird around Barranquilla. 



77. Icterus icterus (Linn.). Troupial. 



I saw troupials in confinement at many places along the Mag- 

 dalena and at Guaduas, but none in a state of freedom. Aud. 

 B. of iY. A. vol. 7, pi. 499. 



78. Icterus xanthornus (Gmel.). Yellow Oriole. 

 Common at Barranquilla. 



79. Cassicus flavicrissus (Scl.). Yellow-vented Cagique. 



80. OsTiNOPS DECUMANUS (Pall.). " Oro pendola." 



81. Gymnostinops guatimozinus (Bonap.). " Oro pendola." 

 We got one specimen of each of the foregoing species on the 



Magdalena on June 28. Higher up the river we saw many strug- 

 gling flocks of the two last. Fauna Biologia Centr, Amer,
