bangs: birds and mammals from HONDURAS. 155 



Tanagra cana Swains. 

 Fourteen specimens, both sexes ; Ceiba. 



Tanagra abbas Licht. 

 Eighteen specimens, both sexes ; Ceiba and Yaruca. 



Calospiza lavinia (Cass.), 



Two specimens, $ and 9 ; Ceiba. This is the most northern record for the 

 species, previously traced onh' to southern Nicaragua, — Chontales. The 

 present specimens are not typical, and I have no doubt that they represent a 

 well-defined northern race. In color they do not differ from southern speci- 

 mens, but they are much larger, and have very long, slender bills. I prefer, 

 however, not to name a subspecies on mere differences of size and proportions 

 without a much greater amount of material. The two skins measure as fol- 

 lows : No. 10,024, $ , Ceiba, Honduras, Jan. 9, 1902 ; wing, 73. ; tail, 50.5 ; 

 tarsus, 19.; exposed culmen, 12.4; no. 10,025, 9) Ceiba, Honduras, Jan. 20, 

 1902; wing, 70. ; tail, 48. ; tarsus, 17.2 ; exposed culmen, 12. 



Calospiza larvata larvata (Du Bus.). 

 Eighteen specimens, both sexes ; Ceiba and Yaruca. 



Euphonia hirundinacea Bp. 

 One adult $ ; Ceiba. 



Euphonia gouldi Scl. 

 Six adults, both sexes ; Ceiba. 



Chlorophonia occipitalis (Du Bus). 



Two specimens, ^ & ? ; Ceiba. Previous to Mr. Brown's taking this 

 pair, Chlorophonia occipitalis was known only from southeastern Mexico and 

 the highlands of Guatemala. The Guatemalan bird ha:^ l)een named bv 

 Dubois, C. cya7teidorsalis, biit has since been generally refuted. My two Hon- 

 duras specimens differ from any others I have seen in the very small area 

 occupied by the blue crown patch, and may eventually prove distinct. 



Saltator atriceps atriceps Less. 

 One adult $ ; Yaruca.
