I have not seen this species, and am unable to recognize it in Dr. Habel’s collection. 
Judging from the figure (a bad one), the bird would appear to be quite distinct from 
any other of the known Galapagan birds. Lafresnaye considered it to belong to a 
distinct subgenus, which he called Piezorhina'. | 
Genus Do.icnonyx. 
A widely ranging North-American genus of the family Icteride, migrating in winter 
to the northern portions of South America. JD. oryzivorus is the only land-bird found 
in the Galapagos specifically identical with that found on the mainland.

only a specimen of the Californian Z. coronata, to which a wrong locality has been assigned.
