Distribution.—Nothing is known of the range of this species, except 
that the type was taken in the mountains of interior Guerrero. 
Description.—Crown dull grayish with a narrow black median line and 
fine parallel lines on each side; back, rump and tail, with exposed part of 
closed wings, gray like the crown and finely maculate with darker; back 
and rump marked with narrow, dark shaft-lines; scapulars marked with 
small, roughly triangular black spots bofdered with buffy; gray of tail 
indistinctly and irregularly barred with darker, and feathers tipped nar- 
rowly with buffy; chin, throat and sides of head grizzled gray, darker 
than crown; neck encircled by a golden buffy collar, bordered along front 
below by a narrow whitish band; breast nearly as dark as throat; abdo- 
men, flanks and lower tail-coverts pale buffy barred with gray and brown, 
the light color predominating. The type and only known specimen is an 
adult female. 
Stze.—Wing 153, tail 116, culmen 18, tarsus 16. 
This form is readily distinguishable from any other known 
Mexican species of the genus by its generally lighter or grayer 
color and by the conspicuous, pale rufous or golden-buffy collar 
which completely encircles the neck. 
Delattria pringlei, new species. PRINGLE’s HUMMER. 
Type, No. 155219, U.S. Nat. Museum, Dept. Agric. coll., @, from 15 
miles west of Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico, September 14, 1894. Col- 
lected by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman (Orig. No. 2288). 
Distribution.—Mountains of central-western Oaxaca and thence into 
Guerrero. 
Descripiton.—Similar to kenricz and margarethe in general coloration, 
but differing in the color of the throat patch, which is royal purple. 
Using Ridgway’s color nomenclature, the three species named above may 
be distinguished by the following colors of the throat patch. 
D. henrict, phlox purple. 
D. margarethe, violet. 
D. pringlez, royal purple. 
We obtained specimens of D. henrici at Mt. Zempoaltepec in 
eastern Oaxaca. From central Oaxaca to central Guerrero D. 
pringlet was found, and in the interior of the latter State D. mar- 
garethe was taken. Thus it appears that the three species occupy 
contiguous areas. This species is dedicated to the field botanist, 
Mr. C. G. Pringle, whose work in Mexico is so well known.
