This must not be confounded with the larger Garrulus Stelleri.

Culandria de Bergara, Mexic. 



A species very similar to Oriolus Xanthornus, L., and still more so 

 to Icterus Mexicanus, Leach, Zool. Misc., 1. 1. 2 (/ewcop^eryji:, Wagler), 

 having its robust bill and extent of white marking on the wing, but 

 is well distinguished from both by its black back and more vivid co- 

 lour.

Calandria, Mexic. 



Nearly allied to let. Dominicensis (flavigaster, Wagl.), from which, 

 however, it is distinguished by the white on the wing and the yellow 

 on the tail. The bill in both is remarkably slender and very acute. 



I have much pleasure in naming this bird after the brothers Paris, 

 who, notwithstanding the arduous nature of their professional en- 

 gagements in Mexico, allowed no opportunity of furthering the in- 

 terests of science to pass unimproved. I quite agree Muth the opi- 

 nion, that in a country whose commercial transactions are so exten- 

 sive as they are in this, the captain of a trading-vessel bringing 

 home " a ' curious bird,' which may prove to be new, has no claim to 

 have his name immortalized ;" but the same rule I would not apply to 

 the Roman state, where a person crossing the sea is a rare occur- 

 rence.

This species, hardly established by Wagler under the specific 

 name we have adopted, differs from the common Phwniceus of the 

 United States by having the red spot on the shoulder of a uniform 

 lively colour, wanting the ochraceous band beneath it ; whilst the 

 new Rocky mountain closely allied species, figured by Mr. Audubon 

 under the name of tricolor, has, as the name implies, three most di- 

 stinct colours on the shoulder spot. Our Mexican species is larger 

 than the common, has the wings longer and broader, and the tail less 

 rounded.
