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

 near Lake Pontchartrain in 1886. (The Auk, 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, (The Auk, April, 1887, p. 165.) 



^ D. bryanti having been described as a variety of D. vieilloti, and tben 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 

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