defined, and deep, almost dark chestnut, in tint. I examined 
the type, and was fortunate enough to obtain a duplicate for 
our collection. D. barhadensis , Sundev. G3 fvers. Yetensk. Ak. 
Eorh. 1869, p. 608, doubtless refers to the same bird. See 
also Baird, Bev. Am. Birds, i. p. 202, and Sclater, P. Z. S. 
1874, p. 174, where the species is referred to D . 'petechia. 
Geothlypis -?, Baird, Bev. Am. Birds, i. p. 227. 
I took the opportunity of carefully examining with Mr. 
Bidgway the specimen named by me G. macgillivrayi , and 
referred by Prof. Baird (l. c.) to a doubtful species of the same 
genus. We agreed that, after all, my determination should 
be adhered to. 
Granatellus FRANCESCAS, Baird, Bev. Am. B. p. 232. 
Tres Marias Islands. This is a beautiful species of this 
group, differing chiefly from G. venustus , Du Bus (of which 
there is also a specimen in the same collection from the main¬ 
land of Mexico), in the absence of the black pectoral band, 
so conspicuous in the latter bird. Mrs. Salvin took sketches 
of the types of G. fvancescce , which Mr. Keulemans has here 
reproduced on stone (Plate XI.).

The Smithsonian specimen is the first I have seen of this 
beautiful and distinct species, from the island of Nassau, Ba¬ 
hamas. It has its nearest ally in H '. euchrysea, Gosse, the 
differences being fully described by Baird, l. c. 
Stelgidopteryx fulvigula, Baird. 
On examining the Costa-Bican specimens of this and allied 
species in the Smithsonian collection, I find my views (Ibis, 
1870, p. 108) confirmed. S. fulvigula therefore equals S. 
uropygialis , juv. The other Central-American species, the 
so-called S. fulvipennis, also occurs in Costa Bica. This bird 
is hardly separable from S. serripennis.
