The}- arc dif-fused over the more northern portion of tlie Neotropical llegion, fromSouthern Mexico to Bolivia, and are confined nearly entirely to theupland forests above 6000 feet in altitude. They are said to frequentthe bushes and trees at the edges of the forests, and to be usuallyfouud in small parties, ever active in search of insects. The nests of two of the species taken by Salmon in Antioquia { Z. S. 1879, p. -iOG) were open and cup-shaped. The eggs (pp. xlii. fig. 1) are spotted with brown on a greenish ground.
