Additional records: La Conception, San Francisco (Brown). 



Eight specimens: Pueblo Viejo, Cincinnati, Chirua, and Heights of 

 Chirua. 



The series is uniform with specimens from other localities. No. 

 44,811 (March 4) is a young male, assuming the black head. No. 

 44,932 (March 10) is a female in juvenal dress, with the crown dull 

 bluish green, the wings and tail dusky, with greenish edgings, the 

 throat and breast obscurely streaked with dusky bluish and yellow- 

 ish white, and the rest of the under parts dull yellowish, shaded with 

 greenish on the sides. 



In the San Lorenzo district this is a very rare bird — as rare, in- 

 deed, as T. heinei is in the Sierra Nevada. It is more numerous in 

 the latter district, where it has been encountered at sundry localities 

 by Messrs. Simons and Brown, and by the writer, but even here it is 

 not as common as T. heinei is in the San Lorenzo. In its habits it 

 resembles that species. It has a somewhat more extensive altitudinal 

 range, however, having been recorded by Simons from as low down 

 as Minca, and by Mr. Brown and the writer from Pueblo Viejo, at 

 approximately the same elevation (2,000 feet), ranging thence up to 

 6,000 feet or more.
