of a fine scarlet or bright vermilion ; thighs black ; upper mandible 

 pale yellowish white, the lower of the same color with a dusky 

 greenish tinge. 



Length (skin) 11 in.; wing 6 ; tail &% ; bill, following curve 1. 



Habitat. San Mateo. Collected by J. Cooper, April, 1S66. 



Type in Mus. Smith. Institution, No. 43018. 



Remarks. There are two specimens (males) obtained at the 

 same point by Mr. Cooper and precisely alike. It comes 

 nearest to T. mdano-eeji/n'/i/*, above they arc much alike, but 

 as that species has the abdomen yellow, they differ widely in 

 their under plumage ; the white in the tail of the new species 

 is quite different, being much greater in extent, for when the 

 tail is viewed underneath, the feathers show no black, and the 

 white markings have not the quadrate form existing in the 

 other species; the bill is much larger and stronger than that of 

 T. melano-cephalus. 



It gives me much pleasure to compliment my friend Prof. S. 

 F. Baird, by conferring his name upon this fine species.
