Dubois has registered the first as the type, a cir- 

 cumstance which would be fairly conclusive were it 

 note for the fact that this specimen v.-as not re- 

 ceived at the museum until 1855 four years after the 

 species was described] It came from Carron & 

 Villardt who sent many Mexican birds to the Brussels 

 Museum in 1855 and subsequent years, all of v/hich 

 were seemingly collected at or near Mirador. The 

 other three are of the Du Bus Collection and surely 

 one of these v;ould be the type. Only on examination 

 of the plate (if such exists^ can determine v;hich. 

 At any rate all four are typical of the race of south- 

 eastern Mexico, to vriiich the name is currently 

 applied. Brussels, July 14, 1939. 



There is a published plate, - No. 37 in both the Tv^eedale 

 and Zoological Society copies, dated "I85I". There is 

 no text but the plate is valid or of this date because 

 properly named. 7375 b [designated as b'] is the speci - 

 men figured. From v;hom obtained by Du Bus - or T;hen - 

 there is no inaication. Most probably, however, 

 Gallioti or Ghiesbrecht at ixdradar in 1838 or 1837.
