According to Prof. Sumichrast, Vireo huttoni is resident in the alpine regions of the 
State of Vera Cruz in Mexico®; and the same is probably the case throughout its 
Mexican range, and also in Guatemala. As to the latter country nothing positive can 
be said on this point, as we only know of its existence in that country from a specimen 
having been obtained by Salvin at Calderas in the Volcan de Fuego at an altitude of 
about 7300 feet above the sea. This specimen was a male, and was shot on October 
10th, 1873 8. 
Vireo huttoni was first described by Cassin from specimens obtained near Monterey, 
in California !; and it has since been found in that State in winter up to the 38th parallel ; 
so that everywhere throughout its range this species would appear to be a much more 
sedentary bird than is usual with members of its family. 
Of its nest and eggs Brewer, when compiling his account of the bird’, was only able 
to quote a note of Mr. Xantus, who says he found a nest with eggs on May 8th at 
Fort Tejon, in California ; the former was a foot from the ground, loosely put together, 
and suspended from three stems of weeds under the high trees.
