1 This rare bird Ijas recently been rediscovered in Louisiana, Mr. C. S. Galbraith having taken a specimen 

 near Lalie Pontcbartrain in 1886. (Tbe Auli, Jan, 1887, p. 35. ) Still another specimen, perhaps one of Audubon's 

 types, has been found by Mr. William Brewster in the Lafresnaye collection of the Boston Society of Natural 

 History. (Tbe Auk, April, 1887, p. 165.) 



2 D. bryanti having been described as a variety of D. vieilloti, and then raised to specific rank, has been more lately 

 split into two varieties, and that one which is found on the west coast of Mexico, and also in Lower California, has been 

 named castaneiceps, from the rich chestnut head. It will probably turn out to be identical with vieilloti proper.
