The specimens whence Prince Bonaparte took his description 

 were procured in Guatemala by Col. Velasquez de Leon : Sefior 

 Constancia has also transmitted examples.

86. Hedymeles ludoviciaxus, Linn. (N. A.) 



It would appear that this bird is abundant in the Vera Paz, 

 as numbers of skins have been transmitted by Mr. Skinner. It 

 does not occur at Duenas, but is a common cage-bird in the city 

 of Guatemala. 



87. Spermophila moreletii, Bp. Consp. p. 497. 



This bird was originally discovered near the lake of Peten by 

 M. Morelet, and was described from his specimens in the Paris 

 Museum by Prince Bonaparte. It is not an uncommon species 

 about Duenas, where it is generally to be found amongst the tall 

 reeds on the edge of the lake. It occurs also at Belize. 



88. VoLATixiA JACARiXA (Liun.), Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, 

 p. 305. 



Transmitted by Senor Constancia. Whether this is the true 

 jacarina must remain doubtful, until the several species con- 

 founded under that name are worked out. The present bird has 

 white feathers on the bend of the wings above, and the under- 

 00 verts black. 



89. Cyanospiza ciris (Linn.) ; Baird, Hep. p. 503. (N. A.) 

 Though of rather unfrequent occurrence at Duenas, this bird 



is abundant on the Pacific coast, evidently preferring the hot to 

 the more temperate districts. Capt. Taylor procured a specimen 

 at Comayagua, in the centre of the State of Honduras. See 

 P. Z. S. 1857, p. 358.
