As mentioned in our article in ' Exotic Ornithology/ 

 Messrs. Salvin and Godraan have a skin of a young bird of 

 the present species, purchased of a London dealer, with one 

 of Mr. Gruber^s printed labels on it, on which is written : — 

 " Icterus cucullatus, Hooded Oriole, Cape S. Lucas, May 1861. 

 ^ . No. 178." There is certainly no improbability in this 

 occurrence, as the species is met with on the Mexican coast 

 just opposite.
