Swains., and P. chloruriis, Towns., respectively, the present bird is in 

 the same respect intermediate between the last and the first named, 

 although nearest to P. macronyx, with which it agrees closely in gene- 

 ral appearance, P. chloruriis being recalled simply by the white throat- 

 patch and the rufous occipital spot, the latter representing an incipient 

 condition of the rufous pileum of P. chloricrus. — K. E.]

[An adult male and an adult female from Puiebla (December, 1884), 

 agree with other specimens of true P. fuscus (including those from all 

 portions of Mexico, whence I have seen exaiii])le!s of this species), in 

 lacking any decided tinge of rufous on the i)ileum, in which respect, as 

 well as in smaller size and darker general coloration, they dilier from P. 

 fuscus mesolnicus (Baird), of Arizonaand New Mexico. National Museum 

 specimens of true P. fuscus are from the following localities: Plains of 

 Colima, June (1); Temiscaltepec, Oaxaca (1); Guanajuato (1) ; "Mex- 

 ico" (I); Guadalajara, Jalisco (2) ; Tepic, Jalisco (1) ; Guaymas, Sonora, 

 April (1), and Sta. Catariim, Nuevo Leon, April (1). It may be remarked 

 that the two latter, which represent extreme northern localities, are 

 quite typical P. fuscus. A December specimen from Guaymas, how- 

 ever, agrees best in coloration with mesoleucus. 



The two Puebla specimens measure as follows:
