1870.] ON BIRDS FROM HONDURAS. 839 
Bogota skin in Sclater’s collection this character is present. Nor 
can we find much difference as regards size, in specimens from 
different localities—Mexico, Honduras, Panama, and Bogota. 
51, PstLorHINUS MEXICANUS (Riipp.). 
Mr. Whitely’s skins belong, like Mr. Taylor’s and all others from 
southern localities, to the white-tailed form. See our remarks,

P. Z. S. 1870, p. 193 (certé). 
After comparing Mr. Whitely’s specimen of this Dendrornis with 
fifteen others from various parts of the Central-American isthmus 
(Costa Rica, Veragua, and Panama), which we have hitherto called 
D. nana (ex Lawrence), and with Venezuelan, Trinidad, and Tobago 
skins of D. susurrans, we have come to the conclusion that they all 
belong to one species. Upon one of the smaller-sized individuals 
Mr. Lawrence appears to have established his D. nana; and we are 
inclined to suppose that the birds called D. guttatus (Ann. L. N. Y. 
vii. p. 292) and D. pardalotus* (ibid. viii. pp. 4, 180, and ix. p. 107) 
likewise belong to this same species. 
We have never met with more than three other species of this 
genus of Dendrocolaptide from any district north of Panama. 
These are : — 
1. D. eburneirostris. Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. 
2. D. lachrymosa. Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Veragua, and Panama. 
3. D. erythropygia. Southern Mexico down to Panama. 
We are not acquainted with D. mentalis, recently described by 
Mr. Lawrence from Northern Mexico (Ann. viii. p. 48). 
96. Coccyzus MINOR (Gm.). 
See Sclater’s remarks on this species, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 166. 
104. Prcumnus oxtvacevs (Lafr.). 
This is the most northern locality yet recorded for any species of 
this genus. The specimens agree with Bogota skins, and with those 
from Veragua received by Mr. Salvin (cf. P. Z. S. 1870, p. 212). 
No other Picumnus is known from north of Panama. 
* A skin in the collection of Dendrocolaptide belonging to the Smithsonian 
Institution now under Sclater’s examination, which is marked D. pardalotus in 
Mr. Lawrence’s handwriting, certainly belongs to D. suswrrans.
