This pretty and very distinct species is perhaps most nearly related 
to J. insularis, of Guadalupe Island, but differs in much brighter and 
more varied coloration, longer tail, and other differences of proportions. 
In general appearance there is a somewhat close resemblance, at first 
sight, toa very brightly-colored female J. oregonus, especially in the color 
of the back and sides, but it is the only one of the “ pink-sided” group, 
having yellow eyes and mandible, the latter characters, as well as the 
pale color of the throat, allying it more closely to J. cinereus. It is so 
markedly distinct, however, from all its congeners as to really need no 
comparison with any of them. 
The species is dedieated by Mr. Belding to Professor Baird.

these new birds have been received from Mr. Belding. Their charac-

ANTHUS CERVINUS (PALLAS)* IN LOWER CALIFORNIA. 
By ROBERT RIDGWAY. 
In the collection of birds made by Mr. L. Belding in Lower Califor- 
nia, during the winter of 188283, is asingle specimen of an Anthus col- 
lected at San José del Cabo on the 26th of January, which was thought 
to be, and in fact was described in MS., as a new species, until three 
specimens of the same bird were found among a small lot from the 
coast of China, recently received at the National Museum from Mr. P. 
L. Jouy. These additional specimens naturally led to a further exami- 
nation of the type of the supposed new species, and the much-seattered 
literature pertaining to the Asiatic species of this genus, the result of
