Mixed Diglossini, Feb. 11, 1964, VIII, [[circled]] 16 [[/circled]]
"Coer" seen down hill lower this morning. Dully gray-blue ([[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] different from adult Cy). Black mark, reddish eye, diglonopis-like bill shape. (Couldn't see if either one had light lower mandible.) Alone. Went feeding on fruit of same species as that eaten by "Coer" down bill earlier this morning. Then fly to another tree. Pick uncits (?) off leaves. Silent throughout.
     Seeing this  pair together is good evidence that some at least of the local [[margin]] Coer[[/margin]] are adults. Not just juvenile Cys.
     Starting downhill 10:00 am.
     As I start, see another [[checkmark above]] cyanocephala [[/checkmark above]] alone. [[margin]] Brum [[/margin]]
     Brums (?) still singing as I go down hill.
     Leave 10:20 am.
     It seems very likely that the situation among diglossines down hill here, near the town, is much the same as around Tarina.
    Incidentally, I am told (by the foreman, "administrator", of an hacienda at the base of the mountain, that this mountain is called Tinaja.
     A thought has occurred to me .... Are some or all of the South [[margin]] Bruns [[/margin]] American populations of Baris (no idea what word is) of man? It strikes me that I have never seen them apart from villages, farms, or cities. (There are quite a lot of houses not far from the area where I have watched Buris here -- and the whole region, apart from the mounains, is obviously farmed intensively.)
     Going to work at lower altitudes this afternoon.
