CORAPIPO LEUCORRHOA ALTERA Hellmayr

The only one of these manakins seen was a female shot in the under- 
erowth in the heavy forest at Los Cuadros on November 6. This 
resembles a series from eastern Costa Rica. 
CHIROXIPHIA LINEARIS FASTUOSA (Lesson) 
Pipra fastuosa Lesson, Rev. Zool., vol. 5, June 1842, p. 174 (Realejo, Nicaragua). 
The long-tailed manakin, called toledo in imitation of its musical 
note, was common from the region below Liberia to the jungles at 
2,000 feet elevation on the Hacienda Santa Maria. In the lowlands 
they were found in brushy pastures, or in the woodlands along the 
streams, where they kept under cover but mewed and whistled so con- 
stantly that it was not difficult to follow them, though they were very 
hard to see. They were often in the dense top foliage of small trees 
15 or 20 feet from the ground. Near Liberia the males had molted 
the long tail feathers, while higher these feathers were partly grown. 
The five secured were taken at Liberia on October 20 and 23 and 
November 1 and on the Hacienda Santa Maria on November 7. 
Family TYRANNIDAE 
MUSCIVORA FORFICATA (Gmelin): Scissor-tailed Flycatcher 
Muscicapa forficata GMELIN, Systema naturae, vol. 1, pt. 2, 1789, p. 981 (México). 
The first one of these flycatchers was recorded at Liberia on October 
24, and several were seen two days later. On October 28 many were 
recorded amid dead stubs standing in cultivated fields, and along the 
roads, and two were taken. Apparently they were then arriving in 
southward migration. On October 30 they were common, and on 
November 1 I shot another near the Rio Colorado. On November 3 
another wave of migrants arrived. On November 6 I saw several 
in the open pastures at the Hacienda Santa Maria. Near Liberia 
they were fairly common on November 17 toward the Rio Colorado, 
and on November 18 at sunrise a band of 40 or 50 came flying out 
past me from the town, and many were seen in the country. 
TYRANNUS MELANCHOLICUS CHLORONOTUS Berlepsch 
Tyrannus chloronotus BERLEPSCH, Ornis, vol. 14, 1907, p. 474 (Temax, Yucatan), 
‘This kingbird is one of the common birds of open country, ranging 
inland into the pastures below the house at Hacienda Santa Maria, 
where I secured birds on November 8 and 11. Specimens were taken 
near Liberia on October 24, 27, and 31 and November 2 and 18.
