defined, and deep, almost dark chestnut, in tint. I examined 

 the type, and was fortunate enough to obtain a duplicate for 

 our collection. D. barbadensis, Sundev. (Efvers. Vetensk. Ak. 

 Forh. 1869, p. 608, doubtless refers to the same bird. See 

 also Baird, Rev. Am. Bii'ds, i. p. 202, and Sclater, P. Z. S. 

 1874, p. 174, where the species is referred to D. petechia. 



Geothlypis ?, Baird, Rev. Am. Birds, i. p. 227. 



I took the opportunity of carefully examining -with Mr. 

 Ridgway the specimen named by me G. macgiUivrayi, and 

 referred by Prof. Baird (/. c.) to a doubtful species of the same 

 genus. Vse agreed that, after all, my determination should 

 be adhered to. 



Granatellus FRANCEsCiE, Baird, Rev. Am. B. p. 232. 



Tres Marias Islands. This is a beautiful species of this 

 group, differing chiefly from G. venustus, Du Bus (of which 

 there is also a specimen in the same collection from the main- 

 land of Mexico) , in the absence of the black pectoral band, 

 so conspicuous in the latter bird. Mrs. Salvin took sketches 

 of the types of G. francescoe, which Mr. Keulemans has here 

 reproduced on stone (Plate XI.). 



HiRUXDO CYANEOviRiDis, Bryant, Pr. Bost. Soc. N. H. vii. 

 p. Ill (1859) ; Baird, Rev. Am. B. p. 303. 



The Smithsonian specimen is the first I have seen of this 

 beautiful and distinct species, from the island of Nassau, Ba- 

 hamas. It has its nearest ally in H. euchrysea, Gosse, the 

 differences being fully described by Baird, /. c. 



Stelgidopteryx fulvigula, Baird. 



On examining the Costa-Rican specimens of this and allied 

 species in the Smithsonian collection, I find my views (Ibis, 

 1870, p. 108) confirmed. S. fulvigula therefore equals S. 

 uropygialis, juv. The other Central-American species, the 

 so-called «S. fulvipennis, also occurs in Costa Rica. This bird 

 is hardly separable from S. serripennis.

I saw two specimens of this distinct species whilst in
