172 DR. P. L. SCLATER ON BIRDS FROM MEXICO. [Apr. 26, 
2. List or A CoLLECTION OF BIRDS PROCURED BY Mr. GEORGE 
H. WHITE IN THE VICINITY OF THE CiTy or Mexico. By 
P. L. Scuarer, M.A., Pu.D., F.R.S., SecrRETARY TO THE 
Society. 
Mr. George H. White has lately placed in my hands for examina- 
tion a series of bird-skins which were obtained during his recent resi- 
dence in the city of Mexico by several collectors in the vicinity of 
the capital. The majority of them are from the valley of Mexico 
and the neighbouring hills in the immediate vicinity of the city, but 
some probably are from the tierra caliente. 
As this is the first collection of birds from this locality that has 
come under my notice, I have had great pleasure in examining it with 
care, and drawing up the following list of the species which it con- 
tains. These amount to 156 in number, and amongst them are 
several additions to the Mexican avifauna, concerning which I have 
added a few remarks. 
The nomenclature employed for the Passeres, Fissirostres, and 
Scansores is that of my ‘Catalogue of American Birds;’ in the 
other orders I have mostly followed ‘Baird’s Birds of North America.’
