Type, Empidonax itatnis Lawrence. 



The type of this genus is exceedingly difibrent in stiuctuie from 

 any of the species of Empidonax^ as shown by tlie above diag- 

 nosis. In general coloration, it resembles some of the species of 

 Empidonax. and also some of the Vireones, especially l\ bcllii. 



This new form is dedicated to Mr. George N. Lawrence, of 

 New York City, America's veteran ornithologist, as a slight token 

 of esteem, and also in recognition of his important services to 

 Neotropical ornithology.

1. Podilymbus podiceps. Pied-billed Grebe. — The only speci- 

 mens of this species that I am aware of occurring in the region under 

 discussion, were taken by Mr. Herbert Brown of Tucson, near that place 

 on the iSth of February, i8S6. They are two in number; one an imma- 

 ture bird and the other almost in full plumage. 



2. Urinator lumme. Red-throated Loon. — A Papago Indian 

 brought into the reservation near Tucson on December 20, 1S84, an indi- 

 vidual of this species. It was apparently exhausted, and falling in the 

 grass was unable to rise again. It proved to be an immature male, and 

 is now in the collection of Mr. Herbert Brown. This is the only record 

 I am aware of from this immediate vicinity.
