Little is known of this species, which has a restricted range in Mexico, extending from 

 Tehuacan to Oaxaca. It was first discovered by M. Boucard near the latter town ; and his 

 specimens were described by Mr. Sclater. Since then other naturalists have found it 

 in the same district. The iris of the living bird is described as of a red-brown colour ; 

 the bill blackish, and the feet dusky ash K

Eab. Mexico^- 



A single skin, obtained by Mr. Sclater from Mr. Gould in 1860, is all that is known 

 of this species. The precise locality where it was obtained is not recorded ; but the 

 skin is made up somewhat in the manner of Floresi's preparations ; and as many of 

 that travellers' skins came into Mr. Gould's possession, it is not improbable that this 

 skin once formed part of this collection. Floresi worked in Central Mexico, of the 

 ornithology of which hardly any thing is known at present. Prof. Baird has suggested ^ 

 that C. gularis is nearly related to C. humilis, differing from it chiefly in its spotted 

 chest and flanks, and in the conspicuous longitudinal marks on the neck behind. It 

 has also a shorter, more decurved bill ; but the coloration of the head in both species is
