Islands of the Cuast of Yucatan, S^c. 361 



Several specimens of this bird agree with others from 

 Washington bearing the name Empidonax acadicus. We 

 have no record of the occurrence of the species in Guatemala, 

 but an example from Costa Rica in our collection seems un- 

 doubtedly referable to it.

Holbox I. (December) ; Mugeresl. (December) ; Cozumel I. 



Several examples agreeing accurately with typical North- 

 American birds. 



E. gracilis was founded on a single alcoholic specimen, its 

 grey tints doubtless due to the method of preservation.

Ruatan I. 



All the birds from Ruatan are large and agree best with 

 northern skins of Contopus virens. The species has also been -/- 

 obtained on the opposite coast of Honduras at San Pedro.

Cozumel I. 



Mr. Gaumer's collection contains many specimens of this 

 small Contopus. 



Contopus schottii, of Yucatan, is now generally admitted to 

 be the same as C. brachytarsus.
