20. Seiurus auricapillus (Linn.). 

 Mazatlan, Grayson. 



" I have met with this species only during the winter months, from November to April. It inhabits the 

 tliickest woods, and is very shy and solitary, as well as silent." 



21. Semrtcs ludoviciamis (Aud.). 

 Mazatlan, Grayson ; Colima, Xantus. 



" This little bird is usually found about stagnant pools, or solitary brooks. It appears to me to be the same 

 species which I years ago noticed about the swamps and river side in Louisiana. It is not common in this 

 locality." 



22. MniotUta varia (Linn.). 

 Mazatlan, Grayson ; Colima, Xantus.

" Abundant upon the Tres Marias Islands, and a constant resident ; also upon the Island of Socorro, two 

 hundred and fifty miles west-south-west of the Tres Marias. I have never met with it upon the main-land.

 upon the main-land adjacent to the Marias."
