of the United States. In No. 89 Mr. Ridgway separates 

 Ceryle superciliosa strictoptera, from Yucatan^ as a new sub- 

 species ; in No. 90 he corrects his description of Psaltriparus 

 grindce (Pr. U.S. Nat. Mus. vi. p. 155) as compared with 

 P. melamtiis. In No. 91 it is proposed to change the 

 generic term Calodromas (which has been previously used 

 in Coleoptera) to Calopezus. In paper 92 a new subspecies 

 from the western mountain-ranges of the U.S.^ in winter not 

 uncommon in the eastern U.S., is described as Lowia curvi- 

 rostra bendirei. Remarks are given on the other subspecies of 

 the same group, amongst which is included L. pityopsittacus ! 

 But how can L. pityojjsittacus be a subspecies, not having a 

 distinct geographical distribution ? In No. 93 Mr. Ridgway 

 shows that Anser albatus of Cassin = A. hyperboreus, Pallas, 

 and proposes to call the larger race (which Cassin mistook 

 for the true A. hyperboreus) Chen (or Anser) hyperboreus 

 nivalis (Forst.), it being apparently Anas nivalis of Forster. 

 In No. 91 Mr. Ridgway considers the two birds named in 

 the title and Empidonax rubicundus, Cab.^ to be three geo- 

 graphical races, of which E. pallescens is from the western 

 and E. fulvifrons from the eastern side of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains, while E. rubicundus is from Southern Mexico. In 

 No. 95 D'Aubenton's PI. Enl. 386. fig. 1 is stated to re- 

 present the Mexican House-Finch [Carpodacus hcemorrhous), 

 which should therefore be called C. mexicanus, being the 

 Fringilla mexicana, Miiller, and Emberiza mexicana, Bodd.
