5S3<(. Melospiza lincolni striata Buewst. Forbush's Sparrow." 



"Similar to 21. lincolni, but with the !^upel■cilial•y stripe and entire upper 



parts more strongly olivaceous, and the dark streaks, especially on the pileuni, 



back, and upper tail-coverts, coarser, blacker, and more numerous." JIab. Coast 



district of Uritish Columbia. 



(71.) Page 434, Genis ARREMONOPS. 



New genus : Type, Emhernagra rufivirgata Lawr. 



The Mexican and Central American species usually referred to the genus 

 Embernagra Less, are so ditTerent in structural and other characters from the 

 type of the latter (^Emberiza platensis Gmel.) that only a moment's comparison 

 is necessary to demonstrate their generic distinctness. The name chosen for 

 the new genus is selected on account of the very close affinity of the birds in 

 question to those of the genus Arremon Vieill. (usually placed among the 

 Tanagers). In fact, I have found it difficult to discover reasons for separating 

 them generically from the latter. 



(72.) Page 439, Pipilo chlorurus (^ Oreospiza chlorura) : 



This bird, which has been rcicrred by difftTent authors to the genera 

 " Embernagra" (i.e. Arremonops) and Atlapdcs, but which is really far more out 

 of place in either than in Pipilo, I propose to make the t\-pe of a new genus, 

 Oreospiza, whose characters are intermediate between, or rather a combination 

 of, those of Pipilo and Zonotrichia.

591c'. Pipilo fuscus senicula Anthont. San Fernando Towhee.' 

 "Differing from crissalis in smaller size, much less rusty on lower parts, 

 upper parts darker, and lower more grayish." Ilab. "Southern California, and 

 Lower California as far south as 29° at least."

593c. Cardinalis cardinalis canicaudus CuArJi. Gray-tailed Cardinal.' 

 "Male similar to the male of Cardinalis cardinalis, but with a less con- 

 Bpicuous black frontlet; female averaging grayer than the female of Cardinalis 

 cardinalis, and with the tail-feathei's broadly margined with gray instead of 

 being narrowl}' edged witii olivaceous-brown." JIab. "Southwestern Texas, 

 Eouth into northeastern Mexico."
