Wing, male, 55.8-62.1 (three specimens), female, 54.2-59.7 (four 

 specimens).

Birds from near Mexico City have been attributed to this race, but 

 these I have not seen. Specimens are at hand from Orizaba and Jico, 

 Veracruz, and from Reyes and Mount Zempoaltepec, Oaxaca. 



Basileuteriis helU clarus Ridgway : 



Basileutcrus belli cJarus Ridgway, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. ~)0, pt. 2, 1902, p. 745 

 (mouutains near Chilpanciugo, Guerrero). 



Chestnut-brown of head distinctly paler, particularly around eye 

 and on auricular region; green of dorsal surface lighter, brighter; 

 sides and flanks lighter ; yellow of under surface slightly paler. 



Wing, male, 59.5-62.1 (four specimens), female, 58.2-61.5 (two 

 specimens). 



Jalisco, Michoacan, Morelos, and Guerrero. 



When specimens secured at the same season are compared, this race 

 may be separated without difficulty, though it was not recognized by 

 Todd.*'' The clearer, lighter coloration is evident throughout the 

 plumage. One bird from Huitzilac, Morelos, while slightly intermedi- 

 ate, appeai-s nearer to this race. Other specimens have been seen from 

 San Sebastian, Jalisco, Mount Tancitaro, Michoacan, and Omilteme, 

 and the mountains near Chilpanciugo, Guerrero.
