paler, especially the throat, which is more extensively white. They are, in fact, pre- 

 cisely intermediate, both in size and coloration, between true P. m. ??ia_/or and P. m. 

 itzensis. Some specimens from Guatemala are, so far as coloration is concerned, prac:- 

 tically indistinguishable from those Yucatan examples which have a considerable 

 amount of black on the back, while others are quite as small as the Yucatan form. It 

 is likely that these come from the Atlantic slope of Guatemala, where intergradation 

 with the Yucatan race might be expected to take place.
