a Specimens from these localities not seen; they may, possibly, be referable to 

 M. a. mearnsi. 



& There is a specimen in the collection of the Carnegie Museum labeled Natd, 

 Cocl6, Panama (no. 20777; Heyde and Lux, collectors) ; but this is evidently referable 

 to the larger and grayer form from western Mexico, and if really from Panama must 

 have been a cage bird; indeed its appearance suggests its having been kept in con- 

 finement.
