o Nineteen specimens. 



Besides averaging decidedly smaller than those from other parts of Mexico (lees so 

 than those from Guatemala and Honduras, however), Yucatan examples are appreci- 

 ably paler, especially females, which have the general color of the upper parts browner. 

 It is possible the Yucatan birds (as in the case of so many other species) may require 

 separation . 



b The specimens examined from Naranjo, Guatemala, and Tapana, Oaxaca, are, if 

 correctly sexed, intermediate between this form and T. s. griseiceps. The sex of the 

 latter was not determined by the collector. Both may be young males instead of adult 

 females.
