According to Prof. Sumichrast, Vireo huttoni is resident in the alpine regions of the 

 State of Vera Cruz in Mexico ^ ; and the same is probably the case throughout its 

 Mexican range, and also in Guatemala. As to the latter country nothing positive can 

 be said on this point, as we only know of its existence in that country from a specimen 

 having been obtained by Salvin at Calderas in the Volcan de Fuego at an altitude of 

 about 7300 feet above the sea. This specimen was a male, and was shot on October 

 10th, 1873 8. 



Vireo huttoni was first described by Cassin from specimens obtained near Monterey, 

 in California ^; and it has since been found in that State in winter up to the 38th parallel ; 

 so that everywhere throughout its range this species would appear to be a much more 

 sedentary bird than is usual with members of its family. 



Of its nest and eggs Brewer, when compiling his account of the bird '', was only able 

 to quote a note of Mr. Xantus, who says he found a nest with eggs on May 8 th at 

 Fort Tejon, in California ; the former was a foot from the ground, loosely put together, 

 and suspended from three stems of weeds under the high trees,
