note:—“ I undoubtedly met with A. tibialis when descending the Cordillera from
Bucaramanga, at an elevation of about 1000 feet, and shot three or four specimens ; but
the vegetation was so dense that it was impossible to get them, unless they had chanced
to fall on the path. There was a large flock of them, and some of them allowed me to
approach within three or four yards, as they sat on a tree-fern. Tliis was opposite to
the locality where Salmon obtained the species, hut on tho other side of the Magdalena.”
A single specimen was obtained near Cosnipata in Peru, hy Mr. ilenry Whitely, but it
has not yet been found in any of the intervening localities.
Mr. Salmon states that the nest was made of dry grass and was placed in the hole
of a bank.
The descriptions and figure are taken from specimens in the Salvin-Godman collection,
and now in the British Museum.
