Henshaw. 437 Harporthynchus erisalis 11.3x12.7 8jmv- 6125 438 Progne purpura 7.6x5.7 8 J. sh. brown, Bill black, Legs Hachish Common. 6126 439 Arripharus flaviceps 3.1x5.7 9jmv Taken from nest. 6127 440 Picus scalaris 7.x2.6 8jmv 6128 441 D. itto 7.2x2.7 9jmv Same brood. Helminthothaga luciae The nest was certainly that of Arripharus flaviceps, but it had been used on a previous season and undoubtedly the H. luciae used it instead of building a new one in a crevice or some similar place; I have found many old nests of H. luciae. Some more in knot holes, woodpecker holes, behind loosened bark, in crevices.
