violajugulum [sic] Jeffries, Auk, April, 1888, 
p- 168; A. O. U. Committee’s Suppl. List, 
1889, p. 10. 
No. 413 bis, p. 464. Add: Selasphorus 
floresii. FLOREsI’s HUMMING-BIRD. A 
Mexican species which has also been found 
in California near San Francisco. (Gould, 
Mon. Troch., IIl., Sept. 1861, pl. 139 ; Trochi- 
lus floresii (Loddiges), Gray, HandL., I., 1869, 
p. 144; A. O. U. Committee’s Suppl. List, 
1889, p.10. See Bryant, Forest and Stream, 
June 24, 1886, p. 426.) 
No. 429 a, p.476. Coceyzus (or Coccygus) 
americanus occidentalis is described by Ridg- 
way,.Man. N. A. Birds, 1887, p. 273, as 
larger than C. americanus, with proportion- 
ally larger and stouter bill. Its habitat is 
given as the western United States, east 
to New Mexico and Colorado, north to 
Oregon, and south over the table-lands of 
Mexico. 
No. 480 a, p. 476. Coccygus seniculus 
maynard’ is a subspecies inhabiting the 
Bahamas and Florida Keys, possibly dis- 
tinguishable from the ordinary Mangrove 
Cuckoo. It appears to be somewhat smaller, 
on an average, and paler buff on the under 
parts. It was named as a full species by Mr. 
Ridgway, Man. N. A. Birds, 1887, p. 274, 
aud was reduced to a subspecies by Allen, 
‘to Dryobates 
903 
with the approval of the Committee, under 
the name Coccyzus minor maynardi. 
No. 454, p. 481. Picus scalaris is changed 
scalaris bairdi (after Picus 
bairdi, Sclater, in Malherbe’s Mon. Pic., 
1861, p. 118, pl. 27). 
No. 437, p. 482. Picus stricklandi is 
changed to Dryobates arizone, Ridgway, 
Man. N. A. Birds, 1887, p. 286 (after Picus 
arizone, Hargitt, Ibis, April, 1886, p. 115). 
No. 439 bis, p. 483. Add: Picus villosus 
hyloscopus, (P. hyloscopus, Cabanis and 
Heine, Mus. Hein., IV., pt. ii., 1863, p. 69; 
Dryobates villosus hyloscopus, Brewster, Auk, 
July, 1888, p. 252). This is the white-bellied 
race of Harris’s Woodpecker which occurs 
in most parts of the western United States 
and southward into Mexico, as distinguished 
from the smoky-bellied form from the north- 
west coast. The distinction is noted in the 
Key, p. 483, and I am inclined to think it 
worthy of recognition by name. 
No. 441, p. 483. The Committee decline 
to recognize Dryobates pubescens fumidus of 
Maynard, Ornith. and Ool., April, 1889, p. 
58, which they regard as a synonym of 
gairdneri. 
No. 441 a, p. 483. Add: Picus pubescens 
oreecus. BATCHELDER’S WooDPECKER. 
Described by Mr. C. F. Batchelder in the 
Auk, July, 1889, p. 253, as Dryobates pubescens 
oreeecus, from the Rocky Mountain region 
of the United States. As compared with 
pubescens or gairdneri, it seems to offer a 
parallel case with that of hyloscopus, and the 
Committee have probably been right in re- 
cognizing it in the Second Supplement. 
No. 458, p. 569. Under the name Colum- 
bigallina passerina pallescens, this pale form of 
the Ground Dove, which I have doubtfully 
kept in all the editions of the Kry, and which 
was rejected by the Committee in 1886, is 
restored in the Supplementary List of 1889, 
with the assigned habitat of Mexico and ad- 
jacent border of the United States from Texas 
to Arizona. It was originally described by 
Baird in 1859 as Chamepelia passerina ? var. 
pallescens, from Cape St. Lucas, according to 
my recollection of the original Xantus speci- 
mens which I examined in that year.
