district of Chiriqui; whereas 7. chionurus is a more southern bird, whose northern 
limits do not reach much beyond the Line of the Panama Railway. | 
T. bairdi was described by Lawrence from specimens obtained by J. Cooper at San 
Mateo in Costa Rica 1, and others have been secured in the same country by J. Zeledon ®. 
‘All our examples were sent in by Arcé from Bugaba ® and other places in the vicinity, 
the bird being evidently not uncommon in the district of Chiriqui. 
The specimen described by Lawrence as a female of 7. clathratus, an identification 
to which Mr. Grant disagreed, proves after re-examination by Mr. Ridgway to belong 
to T. bairdt. | 
Long prior to the description of this species by Lawrence, specimens were secured by 
Dr. Merritt in Veraguas, and were in his collection when Salvin examined it in 1874.</spow «|v Telathnolua

This species, which was described by Gould in 1835 from specimens from an unknown 
locality 1, was at one time supposed to be an inhabitant of Yucatan+; but this is now 
known to be erroneous, the bird being restricted to Western Mexico from Mazatlan 
to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. 
The first examples obtained were doubtless those sent by Deppe to the Berlin
