In conclusion I wish to thank my friend Mr. Chas. H. 

 Townsend for much vahiable assistance in collecting and 

 preparing the material upon which these descriptions 

 are based, and for his generosity in allowing me to de- 

 scribe the entire ornithological proceeds of our trip; also 

 Messrs. Kobert Eiflgway, W. E. Bryant, and W. W. Price, 

 for much valuable information, and the use of many speci- 

 mens.
