c There is a possibility that the Guatemalan bird may be separable from that of 

 Yucatan. Professor Baird compared the type of T. petenicus -wiVci that of T. alhinucha 

 (from Yalahao, Yucatan) and noted certain differences, which may or may not prove 

 constant. (See Review of American Birds, 1864, 149.)
