27. yEGEOTHUS LINARLU (/. ) Cab. 

 (Rkd-i'OLl Llnnkt.) 



I include the present species with great hesitation. On 

 August 3 a bird was brought to me, in a terribly mangled 

 condition, which I believed to be ^EgcotJms linaria. No 

 others observed or taken.

A single specimen, taken July 30, which proved to be 

 an adult male.
