DENDRECA. 127 
Though a common bird during the winter season in the West Indies, D. cerulescens 
has but a slender claim to a place in the Central-American fauna. The only example 
from that country that ever came under our notice was killed, in November 1859, near 
Coban, and is still in our collection, This bird, a female, was at first supposed to be 
probably the same as Sylvicola pannosa © of Jamaica; but it was afterwards § called 
D. canadensis, both of which names are now known to apply to D. cwrulescens. The 
record of the capture of this Central-American specimen has been overlooked by the 
careful compilers of the literature relating to this species °°, all of whom state that the 
bird is not known in Mexico or Central America. 
A full account of D. cerulescens in its summer quarters is given by Brewer ?; and 
Dr. Coues has brought together its synonymy and the references to its literature with 
his usual care °.
