large birds with long wedge-shaped red beaks and dark- 
streaked breasts. These were examples of one of our 
fruit eaters, the Green Oriole {Mimeta viridis), and wer^

hollow that this situation yielded. One often wonders 
how birds that do not resort to the ground obtain their 
drinking material. As we dejiarted, a Fan-Tail Cuckoo 
bade us adieu with its many clear, far-sounding notes 
of one pitch, repeated with great regularity.
