loiifrer tliiin Iho 6th, not shorter. Tlio quills arc moro hroadly 

 iiuiixiiiol than in that Hpocios, am] ull thu colors more brilliunt. Tliu 

 entirely red head will readily distinguish it however. The roddi.sli 

 Htreaks in the feathers of the chin, and a tinge of thu same in tliu 

 lures, will iistinguish thu female bird from all others. 



The preceding remarks were based upon thu types of D. vieilloti 

 (all from Lt. Miehler's collection), as descrilitd by Mr. Cassin. 

 Since then I have had the opportunity of exumining specimens from 

 other localities. A series from Mazatlan exhibits some dilferenei's, 

 but the spitcimens are all moulting, and it is imposHibIc to deterniinu 

 th«'ir true characters. It is, however, (piite in accordance with tlic 

 general rule in the distribution of American l)irds, that a species 

 inhabiting thu main land of South America should be replaced 

 farther north, especially so far as Mazuthin, by a second, closely 

 allied to it. To which form, if there be two, the ruJhriiH of Cabaiiis 

 belongs, it is diflicult to say, as his description refers ecjually to 

 Bpecimens before him from Carthngena, Costa llica, and Mexico; 

 most probably, however, to the former, and as such true synonyms 

 of D. vieilloti.
