The birds which Lawrence recorded as T. clathratus (Ann. Lye. 

 N. Y., IX, 1868, 119) and described as being the hitherto unknown 

 female of that species, is certainly not that, but the female of T. bairdi, 

 as has been noted in the Biologia, on the authority of Mr. Ogilvie- 

 Grant. The record for this species given by Frantzius (Jour, fiir Orn., 

 1869, 313) is merely copied from Lawrence's Catalogue, hence means 

 nothing, so that the first published record we have for its occurrence 

 in Costa Rica is that given by Mr. Ogilvie- Grant in the Catalogue 

 of the British Museum. It is a very rare bird, occurring only on 

 the Caribbean slope between about 1,000 and 2,500 feet above sea- 

 level. It inhabits the heavy forest and has habits similar to those of 

 T. massena, so far as I was able to determine.

"But two specimens of this bird were obtained and not more than 

 three or four others seen. As in the case of the Warbler {Dendroica 

 aureola Gould) its relationships are with species inhabiting the West 

 Indies, rather than with forms of the mainland. " (C. H. Townsend. )
