Mr. Salvin has frequently met with P. cinereus in the highland districts o f Guatemala, where it
is usually found in the zone o f evergreen oaks, at an elevation o f from 4500 to 7000 feet above
the sea level. At Dueñas in Guatemala, these birds assemble in some numbers during the rainy
season, to feed on the fi-uit o f a species o f Ficus. They also devour insects, seizing them in the
air in the manner o f Flycatchers, as do also their allies the Waxxvings {Ampelis).
The accompanying figures ai-e taken from examples killed by Arc6 on the Volcan do
Cartago and now in the collection o f Messrs. Salvin and Godman.
