^' 59. Pyranga rubra. 



Pyranga rubra (Linu.) ; Salv. & Godm. Biol. Centr.-Am., 

 Aves, i. \). 287. 



Cozumel I. (April) ; Ruatau I. ; Bonacca I. (September). 



A migratory species^ common in Northern Yucatan, but 

 rare iu the interior of Guatemala ; more abundant again 

 from Nicaragua to the State of Panama, and extending its 

 migration as far south as Bolivia. It also occurs in Cuba 

 and Jamaica. 



^60. Pyranga estiva. 



Pyranga astlva (Gm.) ; Salv. & Godm. Biol. Centr.-Am., 

 Aves, i. p. 289. 



Cozumel T. (January, April) ; E,uatan I. 



A common migratory species throughout the greater part 

 of Mexico, the whole of Central America, and of Eastern 

 Southern America as far as Peru. It also occurs during 

 passage in Cuba and the Bahamas. 



— 61. Pyranga roseigularis. 



Pyranga roseigularis, Cabot ; Salv. & Godm. Biol. Centr.- 

 Am., Aves, i. p. 293 ; Ridgw. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1885, 

 p. 568. 



Mecol. (November); Mugeres 1. (December) ; Cozumel I. 

 (January, April). 



These island specimens do not differ materially from those 

 from the mainland of Northern Yucatan ; but we notice that, 

 as a rule, the red of the throat is more restricted, and that 

 the rosy colour is hardly traceable on the abdomen and 

 back. The Meco Island bird is somewhat intermediate, 

 being nearer that from the mainland. That from INIugeres 

 Island agrees with the Cozumel bird. In the island of 

 Cozumel P. roseigularis appears to be common, so that this 

 bird, once so rare, is now represented in our collection by a 

 good series.
