15. Ptilogonys cinereus (Sw.), sp. 59. 
Coban and Volcan de Fuego. p 
In the Yolcan de Fuego, at an elevation of 6000 feet above the 
sea-level I found this bird abundant in the early part of July. 
In its manner of taking its food it much resembles a Tyrant-bird 
(: Tyrannus ), but, besides seizing insects m the air, hops about 
the branches, apparently in search of other prey.
