Hab. Eastern province of United States, as far north as Carlisle, Pa., and 
Michigan ; Cuba and Jamaica; southern Mexico (Colima) to Guatemala. 
Most specimens of this bird from the West Indies, and regions 
south of the United States, exhibit a decided ochraceous wash on 
the sides and crissum, quite marked in comparison with northern 
skins. J am, however, inclined to consider this a condition of late 
autumnal plumage, as it is most strongly marked in a specimen from 
Cuba, collected in October, by Mr. Wright; while another killed in 
the middle of January is quite as free from an ochraceous wash as 
spring specimens from Carlisle and Washington. 
This species, formerly considered very rare, has been taken, during 
the past few years, about Washington, in considerable numbers by 
Messrs. Prentiss and Coues. They have also found Turdus alicie 
abundant in the same time—a species only detected and distinguished 
from 7. swainsoni in 1858. 
Specimens from numerous localities in the United States as far 
north as Carlisle, Pa., and Ann Arbor, Mich., and west to Inde- 
pendence, Mo. Extra-limital localities are—
