Two specimens :

b. Chichen-Itza, 189-, E. H. Thompson. 

 Iris reddish brown. 



The only specimen of this bird observed was taken at about sunset, when it 

 was singing a varied song, somewhat resembling that of the Brown Thrasher ; 

 not loud, but very pretty. Gaumer stated in his notes published by Boucard 

 (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1883, p. 439) : "It utters no cry when approached, 

 and is said to sing only in June. Though I have spent the summer in Yuca- 

 tan, I have never had the pleasure of hearing this bird sing." Mr. Thompson 

 confirms his statement that it is often kept as a cage-bird, and adds that it 

 tames easily and breeds in confinement.
