° Specimens from these localities not seen; they may, possibly, be referable to 

 M. a. mearnsi, 



b There is a specimen in the collection of the Carnegie Museum labeled Nata, 

 3ocl6, Panama (no. 20777; Heyde and Lux, collectors) ; but this is evidently referable 

 ;o the larger and grayer form from western Mexico, and if really from Panama must 

 iave been a cage bird; indeed its appearance suggests its having been kept in con- 

 Snement. .
