10 Messrs. Sclater and Salvin on the 



through Mr. Skinner from the Vera Paz. It occurs but very 

 sparingly at Duenas in the month of February. 



23. SlURUS NOVEBORACENSIS (Gm.). (N. A.) 



Just outside the town of Belize^ and beyond that part called 

 Yarborough, this is a very common bird in the month of De- 

 cember. 



Subfam. Mniotiltin^. 



24. MiNOTiLTA VARiA (Liun.). (N. A.) 



At Belize, as well as throughout the more elevated portions 

 of Guatemala, this bird is found ; it seems to be pretty equally 

 and generally spread over the whole country. It is migratory 

 at Duenas, leaving that district in the spriiig. 



25. Parula AMERICANA (Linn.). (N. A.) 

 Transmitted by Mr. Skinner. 



26. Parula suPERCiLiosA (Hartl.). Conirostrum superdliosum, 

 Hartl. Bev. Zool. 1844, p. 215; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 299. 



Originally described from Guatemalan specimens by Dr. Hart- 

 laub. 



27. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.). (N. A.) 



This is perhaps the commonest species of the Mniotiltidce 

 about Duenas, but like all the rest is migratory. It is usually 

 to be found in the neighbourhood of water, and frequents the 

 reeds surrounding the Lake of Duenas, and the bushes on the 

 banks of its outlet to the Biver Guacalate. 



28. Geothlypis macgillivrayii (Aud.). Sylvia tolmicei, 

 Townsend. (N. A.) 



Throughout the district lying between the Volcanos of Agua 

 and Fuego this species is by no means uncommon, frequenting 

 the outskirts of the forest and the edges of the clearings. The 

 distinctive marks over and under the eye, by which G. macgil- 

 livrayii is distinguished from G. philadelphica, are very apparent 

 in a living or freshly-shot bird.
