yellow on the top of the head, and the chrome-yellow of the 

 throat in sharp contrast with the brownish band of the breast, 

 as well as the blackish feathers round the bill, are characters 

 by which the female of P. salvini may be distinguished at a 

 glance. 



I am not yet quite sure that the youna: male of the mus. 

 Salv.-Godm. belongs to P. salvini ; but I believe it does. It 

 certainly does not belong to P. rubicoides, as it has no yel- 

 lowish on the crown, has the throat bright yellow, and shows 

 blackish feathers on the bill. It would be necessary to 

 examine an old male from Tehuantepec to settle this 

 point. 



Perhaps there still remains another species of Phosnico- 

 thraupis from Northern (?) Mexico undescribed, as I have 

 seen two female birds (but marked males) in the Berlin 

 Museum, collected by Deppe at Sautinario and Alvarado, 

 which differ from the usual style of P. rubicoides female in 

 having the throat nearly white.
