Mexique. 



Uoiinted bird in good condition, plumage shovdng a slight 

 amount of abrasion; evidently collected in spring. 

 No sex indicated; definitely a one-year-old bird as 

 showi by the relatively narrow, pointed rectrices. 

 Mounted length 13-3/ A-". Bill slightly more 

 prominently hooked at tip than shown in plate. 



This is unmistakably the southern race (Sieberi liVagler; 

 sordida Sv;ainson). Tenminck's plate matches exactly 

 in detail of iwhite exposed edge of left wing, but 

 coloration of plate much too pale and too blue. 



Schlegel's catalogue (1, 1867 Caracas, p. 6U) gives, 

 under Garrulus ultramarinus ^ "l.-Individu du Mexico, 

 figure dans Temm, , pi. col. ^39 sous le nom de 

 Garrulus ultramarinus, et la type de la Cyanocitta 

 Sieberi, Bonap. Consp. 1, p. 378 Temminck, in the 

 text to plate 439 (74® liv.), says Garrulus ultra- 

 marinus. C. Bonap.
