214 HELMINTHOPHAGA LAWRENCIl — H. BACHMANI 



lawrencil, * are at present known only from isolated localities, 

 and nothing can be predicated respecting their actual distribu- 

 tion, if, indeed, they be really good species. Another, H. 

 bachmani,i is extremely rare, being only known from South 

 Carolina, Georgia, and Cuba. Two, S. mrginice and H. Iticice, 

 are characteristic of the Southern Eocky Mountain region 

 and Valley of the Colorado. Two are of rather general 

 distribution in North America, H. celata being chiefly West- 

 ern, but also of irregular occurrence in the East, while H. 

 ruficapilla is chiefly Eastern, but is known to reach the Eocky 

 Mountains. H. peregrina is much like ruficapilla, but more 

 decidedly Eastern, only known to casually reach the Eocky 

 Mountains. The remaining two, H. pinus^ and JJ. chrysop-

 Helmlntbophaga lawrencei, Serriek, Ball. Nutt. Orn. Clab, ii. 1877, 19 (second specimen, 



from Hoboken, N. J.). 

 (Note. — Closely related to H.pinua, from which it differs chiefly in having 

 the chin, throat, and fore breast black. It is curious to observe that the fore- 

 going species differs from its nearest ally, S. chrysoptera, in not having these 

 parts black. The discovery of the second specimen of lawrencii tends, of 

 course, to confirm the validity of the species ; but further information 

 respecting both of these novelties is desirable.)
