 observations and corrections : — 



Parula pitiayumi. Page 170. 



Among the collections made during the past winter, by Col. 

 Grayson, in the Tres Marias, Mex., were several specimens of a 

 Panda, which I cannot separate from the true South American 

 P. intiayumi ; differing only in rather larger size and less amount 

 of black in the loral region, which, in fact, is nearly as plumloeous 

 as the forehead, the space immediately anterior to and beneath the 

 eye being blackish. The upper parts appear rather paler than 

 usual. They differ from the Guatemalan and Costa Rican inornata 

 in the larger size and possession of two white bands across the 

 wings. The species has not been identified as occurring on the 

 main land of Mexico.
