C. chiapensis
5.4 mi. NW Tonalá', Chis., Mexico
March 20 Collected a Petrona pustulatus in same area when
we found cortus wrens. Gave specimen to Landa in
trade for a C. chiapensis which one of his boys
collected a short distance from camp. Landa also
prepared another C. chiapensis collected a short
distance from camp. He now has two skins of this
species. Chiapensis males show some
enlargement of their testes but those of humilis
are of minimum size.
In late afternoon we watched the group of
chiapensis which have been frequenting the area
of our camp since we arrived. I believe that there
are 4 birds present. At least 3 were seen foraging
on the ground and in the branches of a low, dead
teach. Singing stops in mid-day but we heard
several clut songs in the latter part of the after-
noon. Most singing occur in the morning. Noted
one bird in a pile of dead branches was complete
in the afternoon a few minutes before dark.
Note the following incomplete ossification in skull
of # 1758.
(chiapensis)
Two hard, clear areas in the
skull.
