Large, nearly spherical, nests, encircling branches of trees in British 
Guiana, are alluded to by E. A. Ormerod in P. E. S. 1881, pp. v. & vi., with 
remarks on specimens exhibited. F. P. Pascoe states that he once found a 
similar nest in the Organ Mountains in Brazil, where it was called the 
‘ negro-head,’ a name very suggestive of its appearance (p. vi.). McLachlan, 
ihid.^ states that these are probably allied to T. opacus^ Hagen, but the 
species is not determinable in the absence of the winged forms.

that it is really indigenous, notwithstanding the doubts he had previously 
held.
