B. Richardson 134 Motoma fuscipec annectens. 2 were at the top of the pile. The sticks at the bottom of the pile were generally old, mossy and shrunk in character showing that the quest had been used for a considerable time. At the base of the nest there were well beaten paths and numerous entrances into the interior of the nest. All but two of the nests were built on the ground at the base of a bush. The numerous stems of the bush served as a support of nest which allowed for the general height of about 4 ft. The two nests observed in the tree were built in a many forked crotel which supported the structure. They were about 10 ft off the ground and 11 ft through.
