COLE: AVES FROM YUCATAN! 135 



MUSCICAPIDAE. 

 79. *Polioptila caerulea mexicana (Bonaparte). 

 Polioptila caerulea (Linne). Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1896, 8, 

 p. 276. 



Mexican Gnatcatcher. 



Maya name : I did not learn any native name for the Gnatcatcher at Chichen- 

 Itza. Mr. Thompson tells me that at Ticul it is called ol-oll. 



The gnatcatchers which were heard and seen commonly during the whole of 

 my stay at Chichen are probably to be referred to this subspecies. Mr. Bangs 

 states, however, that he believes both P. caerulea mexicana and P. caerulea 

 caerulea may occur in Yucatan. He has in his collection a fine skin of true 

 P. c. caerulea from there identified by Mr. Nelson. Such being the case, it is 

 possible that Chapman's record should not be included under the subspecies 

 mexicana. 



TROGLOD Y T1DAE. 

 80. *Pheugopedius maculipectus cano-brunneus (Hidgway). 

 Yucatan Spotted-breasted Wren. 

 Maya name, po-kim'. 

 Two specimens :

 Rather common. 



81. *Thryomanes albinucha (Cabot). 



Cabot's Wren. 



Maya name, po-kim' ; also yam-ko-tW . This second name was also applied to 

 warblers and other inconspicuous small birds. 

 One specimen : sex ?, Feb. 28, 1904. 

 Common. 



82. *Nannorchilus leucogaster brachyurus (Lawrence). 



Hemiura brevicauda (Lawr.). Chapman, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1896, 8, 

 p. 277. 



Temax Wren. 

 Maya name, fs-hot'. 

 One specimen : 9 > Feb. 18, 1904. 



Common. I occasionally heard a song much like that of Troglodytes aedon, 

 which, from Chapman's remarks, I attribute to this bird.
