This little bird, properly a native of Mexico, though sometimes penetrating within our borders, was first described by Giraud, 
among his new species of birds from Texas. It was afterwards obtained by Dr. Coues, during his sojourn at Fort Whipple, in 
Arizona, who, supposing his specimens as undescribed, gave them the name of Pallescens, from their light color. The differences, 
however, in the hue of the plumage, from that of those figured in my plate, are caused, probably, as Dr. Coues supposed might be 
the case, by “ age or season.” 
Three species of this genus, as restricted by Dr. Sclater, are now known— the present one, together with M. Phcecercus, and 
M. Aurantiiventris, all of them closely allied. 
I know nothing of their habits. 
The figures are life-size. The plant is the Centredemia Rosea, Rose-flowered Centredemia.
