yards across in some cases. The frequency with which XCC's keep reappearing would suggest that their territories are equally small (but I can't be absolutely sure about this — they are almost impossible to see in Eucalypts). Bari territories must be very much larger. Baris only pass through occasionally.

There would appear to be complete overlap between the territories of the three species.

[[margin]] Gen [[/margin]]
Again, my earlier general impression of the relations between the three species was confirmed by this afternoon's observations. They do tend to keep themselves apart, in spite of the overlap in their ranges or territories; but the separation is not perfect. (Although possibly it is as good, fundamentally, as the separation between the Quito forms. The species here may be coming together unusually frequently because Erythrina is so very attractive. All the inter-specific encounters seen here this trip have been in an Erythrina tree – always the same tree, in fact.)

[[margin]] Bari BQ [[/margin]]
Certainly the Baris and BQ's are not separated ecologically now in the same way that they seemed to be in September, 1962.

6:37 am. Good heavens! See unmistakable ♀ ✓ Albi feeding in some brush, with clusters greenish-yellowish-white flowers, where Glor was feeding yesterday. So there is definitely some overlap between the ranges of these two individuals.
