This bird is clearly distinguishable from the S', ludoviciana by its 

 smaller size and the smaller breast-mark. But the name hippocrepis 

 was established upon Cuban specimens. Are thev ouite the saree as 

 this Mexican bird ?

This species has the under tail-coverts yellow. I think the bird 

 resembling this, but with these parts black, which Mr. Strickland 

 mentions in his description of /. prosthemelas, is probably a distinct 

 species ; but the whole group reąuires to be thoroughly revised and 

 worked out before additional names are given.
