128 COTINGIDA. 
(Sallé+, de Oca®, Hoge, M. Trujillo, F. D. G.), Huatusco (Ferrari-Perez), Amula in

This species, so far as the male is concerned, is exceedingly like the South-American 
P. atricapillus ; but besides being decidedly smaller, appears never to have the back 
quite so black as in some individuals of the southern bird. The female may at once 
be distinguished by its cinnamon back and black crown. 
P. major has a wide range in Mexico, extending northwards as far as the high 
ground above Ciudad Victoria in Tamaulipas, and also occurring in the Sierra Madre 
del Sur, near the town of Chilpancingo. Sumichrast? found it in the State of Vera 
Cruz in the lowlands, and at various elevations up to an altitude of more than 8000 
feet, and we observed that it had a similar range in altitude in Guatemala, where it 
occurs in the Volcan de Fuego as high as between 7000 and 8000 feet, and at Choc- 
tum which is less than 1500. It occurs also near the sea-level in Yucatan, and at 
Omoa in Honduras. It is nowhere common.

This is a smaller species than P. major and may be distinguished by its cinereous 
back, in which there is no admixture of black; the female, too, differs in having an 
olive-coloured back and a red instead of a black crown, so that the two species are 
really very distinct. Moreover it would appear that P. albogriseus takes to a great 
extent the place of P. major in the more southern portion of our country, and thence 
passes southwards into the north-western districts of South America. 
The only part of our country where it appears to be at all common is the neighbour- 
hood of Chiriqui, whence Arcé sent us several specimens; our single Nicaraguan 
example was shot by Salvin in the bush at the back of the seaport town of Corinto.

The Lipaugine form the first subfamily of Mr. Sclater’s second section (B) of the
