Lake Amega, 100; Deft't. San Miguel, El Salvador Jan. 27, 1942 (1106) which I collected. Jan. 28, 1942 Went walking in a.m. Hiked to jungle flats at west end of lake and out to mouth of the Rio San Miguel looking for crocodiles. On the way I flushed a covey of Sol-whites (Columba leucofuga) from the dry grass by the trail. One bird lit a few feet ahead in the grass, and I shot it with the .22 pistol (1098). Noticed numerous And Stenagers on the way (Halia Solini). They were all solitary birds, and stuck to the brush, concealing themselves very well. They uttered a single harsh note quite fre- quently. I took one (1099) as it sat in a shrub near the river bank. Walked down the river bank, and ran into a group of about 20 Boat-billed herons (Cochlearius cochlearius). They have a very fe- culiar cry that cannot be reproduced on paper. At first glance they resemble night-herons. They remained well up in the trees overhanging the river, except for one which lit in a tree about 15' over my head. I collected it (1100) with the .22 pistol. On the way back collected an Andioie (1101) from a treeling in the jungle, and a Cuenidophorus (1102) from the grass by the trail near camp. Went night-hun- ting down the trail running east to the lake front. Caught a king-neck snake (1108) as it crawled
