BIRDS OF THE LOWER URUGUAY. 
BY WALTER B. BARROWS. 
( Continued from f. 143.) 
60. Phylloscartes ventralis ( Temm .). — Among the low 
bushes bordering the streams this bird was noticed several times 
in July. Owing to its diminutive size and sober coloring it 
was probably often overlooked and may have been much more 
plenty than it seemed.
