368 Mr. O. Salvin on the Birds of the 



Four specimens sent by Mr. Gaumer agree accurately with 

 examples from North America, including one from Wash- 

 ington sent us by the late Professor Baird. We have also a 

 skin from Jalapa, Mexico, in our collection. These, with 

 those now sent from Cozumel, give some indication of the 

 winter abode of this species, concerning which we have 

 hitherto known hardly anything.
