COLE: AVES FROM YUCATAN: 135 



MUSCICAPIDAE. 

 79. *Polioptila caerulea mexicana (Bonaparte). 

 Polioptila caerulea (Linne). Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1896, 8, 

 p. 276. 



Mexican Gnatcatcher. 



Maya name : I did not learn any native name for the Gnatcatcher at Chichen- 

 Itza. Mr. Thompson tells me that at Ticul it is called ol-qil. 



The gnatcatchers which were heard and seen commonly during the whole of 

 my stay at Chichen are probably to be referred to this subspecies. Mr. Bangs 

 states, however, that he believes both P. caerulea mexicana and P. caerulea 

 caerulea may occur in Yucatan. He has in his collection a fine skin of true 

 P. c. caerulea from there identified by Mr. Nelson. Such being the case, it is 

 possible that Chapman's record should not Ije included under the subspecies 

 mexicana.
