Adult (Mexico). Lower back, rump, and upper tail-coverts rich 

 ferruginous rufous ; the rest of the upper parts contains very little 

 ferruginous but more blackish brown, so that the white longitudinal 

 spots become more pronounced than in the European birds ; the 

 under tail-coverts are decidedly more ochraceous yellow. Culmen 

 U-GS inch, wing 2-00, tail 2-65, tarsus 0-60. 



Hah. The Mexican Creeper inhabits the greater part of Central 

 America, from the Isthmus, through Mexico and California, as faf as 

 Oregon ; the latter habitat is proved by two very typically coloured 

 specimens in the British Museum. The birds from Vancouver's 

 Island are like those from Canada.
