214 HELMINTHOPHAGA LAWRENCII H. BACHMANI 



lawrencii,* are at present known only from isolated localities, 

 and nothing can be predicated respecting their actual distribu- 

 tion, if, indeed, they be really good species. Another, R. 

 lachmani^is extremely rare, being only known from South 

 Carolina, Georgia, and Cuba. Two, H. Virginia and H. lucice, 

 are characteristic of the Southern Kocky Mountain region 

 and Valley of the Colorado. Two are of rather general 

 distribution in North America, H. celata being chiefly West- 

 ern, but also of irregular occurrence in the East, while H. 

 ruficapilla is chiefly Eastern, but is known to reach the Kocky 

 Mountains. H. peregrina is much like ruficapilla, but more 

 decidedly Eastern, only known to casually reach the Rocky 

 Mountains. The remaining two, H. pinm\ and H. clirysop-

 Helminthophaga lawrencii, Herrick, Proc. Acad. Nat Sci. Phila. 1874, 220, pi. 15 (descr. 



orig. New Jersey). 

 Helminthophaga lawrencei, Herrick, Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, ii. 1877, 19 (second specimen, 



from Hoboken, N. J.). 



(NOTE. Closely related to H. pinus, from which it differs chiefly in having 

 the chin, throat, and fore breast black. It is curious to observe that the fore- 

 going species differs from its nearest ally, H. chrysoptera, in not having these 

 parts black. The discovery of the second specimen of lawrencii tends, of 

 course, to confirm the validity of the species ; bufc further information 

 respecting both of these novelties is desirable.)
