eats off leaves. All other species in scrub 5-15ft up. Group quiet and moderately dispersed. No obvious indications of leadership.

  COMMENTS:
  I. Inter-specific fighting may be another indication that some of the species here are trying to "break out" of mixed flocks
  Thus, the mixed flocks here, although as large and as highly developed as in any part of the Andes, [[underline]] may [[/underline]] show a variety of signs of "incipient decay".
  II. The [[underline]] Pseudospingus [[/underline]] here (where flocks are common and large) seem to be more strongly passsive nuclear than in the Eastern Cordillera (where flocks are less common and/or smaller, on the average). They may be compared with the BCBT's of Chiriqui (where flocks also are common and large). The [[underline]] Pseudospingus [[/underline]] of the eastern Cordillera, on the other hand, may be compared with the BCBT's of various parts of the northern Andes. Both species probably illustrate the same general "process":
