Agreeably to the latest fashion, the bird will probably stand as pitiayumi 

 •vax.nigrilora; hut its probable gradation into pttiayumi through Mexican and 

 Central American specimens remains to be shown. It is thoroughly distinct 

 from P. americana. 



This welcome and nnexpected addition to our fauna was made by my 

 esteemed correspondent, Mr. George B. Bennett, during his collecting tour in 

 Texas in the spring of 1877, when other novelties and many interesting 

 points were brought to light through his diligent and snooessful enterprise. 

 Mr. Sennett secured three adult males at Hidalgo, Texas, some seventy miles 

 from Fort Brown, during the months of April and May.
