The occurrence of Sitta pygmcea, a Californian species, now noticed 

 for the first time on this side of Mexico, is curious. I have no 

 northern specimens of Sitta carolinensis ; but there is considerable 

 difference in the dimensions of these skins from Jalapa and one from 

 Oaxaca, collected by M. Boucard : —

The bill of the Mexican Icterice is always thicker than in N. Ame- 

 rican birds, and white at the base of the lower mandible. I have 

 never yet seen specimens of the true N. American Icteria viridis 

 from Mexico.
