Neither of these Parrots have occurred in previous collections

 cimens in the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History ' for July last 

 (ser. 3, vol. iv. p. 224).

Piaya thermophila is the common species of the tierra caliente, 

 which I have hitherto referred to Swainson's Cuculus mexicanus. 

 Having now received the true P. mexicana (with the tail-feathers 

 red, as described by Swainson : see below, p. 388), I propose to call 

 this bird 



Piaya thermophila. 



Saturate castanea, subtus cinerea, gutture pallide cinnamomeo- 

 rufescente, ventre imo crissoque nigricantibus : caudcB rectri- 

 cibus subtus unicolori-nigricantibus, lateralibus in pogonio ex- 

 teriore et mediis duabus in utroque pogonio rufescentibus,
