" See Ridgway, Proc. Best. Soc. N. H., xxiii, 1888, 383 (crit.). I have again care- 

 fully examined and compared the tj'pe with an extensive series of specimens from 

 various localities, and am more than ever convinced that it came from Guayma.«, 

 Sonora, or some locality not far distant. It agrees minutely in measurements and 

 coloration with specimens from southern Sonora, and in l)oth respects is very dif- 

 ferent from all examples from any other part of the country. It certainly ilid not 

 come from California. 



''I have not been able to find the locality mentioned on any map. 



'Three specimens; two (one the ty}>e) from San Telmo, tiu' other from .^an Diego.

• From San (.^uentiu to San Fi-rnando varying toward Jf. /». ((///»/.'-■, specimens from 

 the latter locality being, according to Anthony (Auk, xi, 1894, 214), "rather nearer 

 to (i(}i)ii!i than Itri/diili."
