* This species occurs throughout Central 
America, from northwestern Mexico southward 
and also in northwestern South America as 
far as Ecuador. 
+ The-specimen in question is now in the 
Nationai Museum collection, having been given 
to Professor Baird by Mr. Audubon. It is not 
an example of the true Mango Hummiug Bird 
(Lampornrs mango), which is a Jamaican 
species, but belongs to the species known as 
L. violicauta (Bodd.). 
THE BOBWHITE. 
EpITOR OREGON NATURALIST: 
DEAR Sik: Inthe July issue of the ‘*Oregon 
Naturalist,” I noticed something about the 
sudden appearance of the Bob White in the 
vicinity of Woodlawn. 
In the spring of 1890, while in the Southeastern 
part of this county (Yamhiil.) {saw and heard 
several, They would allow me to approach 
within a few feet of them without taking fligit. 
This was the first time [ ever saw or heard 
them in Oregon, but from the number [ would 
suppose that they had already been introduced 
some time. 
In 1893. I saw and heard a single s; eci:nen 
and since that time they have become more 
common, until this spring they may be heard 
almost any day. 
I have heard of their nests being foun! and 
I am quite certain that they nested near here 
but have not found any of their nests. 
They seem to spread slowly and I have heard 
some persons express their doubt as to the 
climate suiting them but I do not see why they 
should not become one of our leading game 
birds.
