able to this species, of which I have likewise an example from Texas 

 or Northern Mexico. The dimensions of these birds are slightly in- 

 ferior to those assigned by M. Giraud ; but his description agrees, 

 and the species seems to be the same. 



52. Empidonax ? 



$ et 3 similes, Parada, Oct. 1857. 



A species very closely allied to the last, but larger and deeper 

 ferruginous below, of which I have likewise examples in my own 

 collection from Orizaba. 



53. Tyrannus intrepidus (Linn.) ; Wils. Am. Orn. ii. pi. 13. 

 fig. 1. 



Acatepec, March 1857. 



This is the first occasion on which I have seen specimens of this 

 bird from Southern Mexico. Its occurrence has, however, been al- 

 ready noted by Swainson (Phil. Mag. 1827, p. 368). 



54. Vireo huttoni, Cassin, Pr. Ac. Sc. Phil. v. p. 150, pi. 10. 

 fig. 1. 



cf, Cinco Seiiores, Oct. 1857. 



This specimen seems to agree with Mr. Cassin' s figure and de- 

 scription of the Californian Vireo huttoni. It is not more surprising 

 to find it here so far south, than to meet with the Californian Den- 

 droicce and Cyanocoraces, which is the case in this collection.

As this species possesses the first spurious primary (always ab- 

 sent in Vireosylvia), ought it not to be referred to the genus Vireo ?

Not quite mature ; but the white eyebrows, which distinguish the 

 species, are sufficiently noticeable to betray its identity with this Ca- 

 lifornian species.
