“El asulejo” It is only in the more open districts of the 
elevated region that this Blue-bird is found; in such localities, 
however, it is numerous. 
Some Guatemala skins of this species are very pale below, on 
the belly quite white. Others are intermediate between this 
and the deep red of the more northern bird. We have not ob¬ 
served the same variation in Mexican examples.

This Wren is tolerably numerous and a resident at Duenas. It 
is to be found in moderately thick forest, but seems rather to 
seek single trees of dense foliage than thickly grown underwood.
