Brussels, July lA, I939. 



Although there is no indication of locality eitlier on 

 the stand or in Du Bus text it seems most likely 

 that this moulting specimen and also a young bird 

 in mixed post- juvenile moult were taken at San Pedro 

 Nolasco near Oaxaca by Galeotti in September 1838 

 or 1839. "Tabasco" by Ghiesbrecht is not probable 

 for his birds from there are either spring or early- 

 summer. Miradar, the only other highland locality 

 in which Ghiezbrecht collected (so far as I know) 

 might be designated. 



Central re c trices in moult.
