“ In Veragua T. tenellus appears to be quite abundant. Arce, to whom we are chiefly indebted for a 
knowledge of the birds of that country, has sent us from time to time specimens from the Volcano of 
Chiriqui and San Miguel de Bagaba, as well as from Santa Fe, Santiago de Veragua, the Cordillera de 
Tole, Chitra, and Calovevora. On the Isthmus of Panama it is also common, as M‘Leannan procured many 
specimens at Lion-Hill Station, and two years ago I myself shot an example in the woods near Obispo 
Station. It was sitting motionless in an upright position, after the manner of its tribe, on one of the lower 
branches of a forest tree, my attention being attracted by its yellow breast. Two other localities where 
this bird is found on the isthmus remain to be stated—one being Chepo, where Arce secured specimens, 
the other the falls of the river Truando, where Mr. C. J. Wood, who was attached to Lieut. Michler’s 
exploring expedition, met with it. He says that ‘ it was seen only once in the Cordillera, and that 
it was very unsuspicious and easily shot.’ ”— Salvin.
