section of country. Thus, the Canada jay is the northern, 
the Florida jay is the southern, and the present the western 
representative of the genus. It is probable that another 
species at least, our Garrulus ultramarinus, from Mexico, 
will soon be admitted as the central jay. ‘To the latter bird, 
Mr Swainson, who had probably not seen my paper describing 
it (published more than two years ago in the Journal of 
the Academy of Natural Sciences), gives the name of G. 
sordidus ; at least, judging from his short phrase, and «the 
dimensions and locality, they are the same.
