TURDUS. 4) | 
The Turdus minimus of Mr. Lawrence, from Panama, is even 
more like typical North American birds. 
It is quite possible that neither of these specimens belongs to the 
true 7. nuinimus of Lafresnaye, as this author speaks of his bird 
being of a smoky brown tinge above, “just as in Sezwrus aquaticus 
(noveboracensis),” a decidedly different color,

The validity of this species, first established in 1858, in the “ Birds 
of North America,” has since been substantiated, and its geographical 
distribution ascertained by numerous specimens in the Museum of 
the Smithsonian Institution. Labrador and the Lower Mackenzie 
River, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia, and to the 
south, Costa Rica, have all been added to the regions known to be 
inhabited by it. It is, im fact, a very remarkable circumstance, that 
for two or three years past it has been more abundant around Wash- 
' Type of minimus of Lawrence.
