Birds of Paraguay. 
Young males seem to be vinous below shaded with ashy ; 
the under tail-coverts are uniform vinous chestnut, as in the 
adult males. 
[This bird is resident and by no means uncommon. 
There appears to be no favourite place for nesting, almost 
any situation being chosen, providing the tree or shrub is 
dense enough to conceal the nest, while the height at which 
the nest is placed also varies from 2| to as high as 7 feet. 
About Sapucay the nest is generally built along the edge 
of the forest, but in other parts it can be met with in .clumps 
of bushes in the open camp-lands.— W. F.~\

According to Mr. Foster, this bird is a common resident 
in Paraguay, breeding throughout the year. The nest is 
placed in a tree some twelve feet from the ground and is 
a very fragile structure. 
Several eggs were sent, all of which were collected in the 
month of October. They vary in colour from dull white 
to creamy buff, and measure: axis 1*1 to 1*25 inches; 
diameter 0’9 to 0*95.
