PYRANGA. 291 
P. estive similis sed major et rostro longiore, capite, crisso et corpore subtus clarioribus distinguenda. Long. 
tota 8-0, alee 4-2, caudee 3:5, rostri a rictu 1-0. (Descr. maris ex Los Pinos, New Mexico. Mus. Nat. U.S.) 
Femina quoque multo magis flavescens differt. 
Hab. Norra America, Upper Rio Grande and Colorado region ?.—Mexico, Mazatlan 
(Grayson 134), Presidio near Mazatlan (Forrer), Colima 2. 
With the aid of the types of this bird before us, kindly lent us by the authorities 
of the United States National Museum, we have no difficulty in recognizing it as 
distinct from P. estiva, the characters having been carefully drawn by Mr. Ridgway 
when first describing it}. 
The range of P. cooperi appears to be very limited. Dr. Cooper found it abundant 
near Fort Mohave in the Colorado valley, and Dr. Coues at Los Pinos in New Mexico. 
Thence it has been traced southward to Mazatlan ?4, whence we have a fully adult 
male from Mr. Forrer. The most southern point of its range mentioned by Brewer is 
Colima, but on whose authority is not stated?. | 
Grayson says it makes its appearance at Mazatlan during the winter months, and he 
saw it late in the spring, but not in summer; but it was not common °.
