proportions, much paler ground color beneath, greater extent of 
white on the belly, absence of black or dusky on the head, ete., leads 
me to consider it as distinct. Its being a summer bird of Cape St. 
Lucas is also an additional argument for this view. It is decidedly 
not to be referred to 7. flavirostris.

This species appears to be but little known to ornithologists at 
the present time, none having been obtained by Boucard, Salle, 
D’Oca, and other collectors. Mr. Xantus, however, procured nume- 
rous specimens, in 18638, about Colima, Mex., which would seem to be 
its centre of abundance. It appears to vary but little in color with 
sex and season, and may readily be identified by Sclater’s diagnosis.
