Messrs. Sclater and Salvin on the 
through Mr. Skinner from the Vera Paiz. It occurs but very 
sparingly at Duenas in the month of February. 
23. Siurus noveboracensis (6m.). (N. A.) 
Just outside the town of Belize, and beyond that part called 
Yarborough, this is a very common bird in the month of De¬ 
cember. 
Subfam. Mniotiltin^e. 
24. Minotilta varta (Linn.). (N. A.) 
At Belize, as well as throughout the more elevated portions 
of Guatemala, this bird is found; it seems to be pretty equally 
and generally spread over the whole country. It is migratory 
at Duenas, leaving that district in the spring. 
25. Parula Americana (Linn.). (N. A.) 
Transmitted by Mr. Skinner. 
26. Parula superciliosa (Hartl.). Conirostrum superciliosum, 
Hartl. Rev. Zool. 1844, p. 215; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 299. 
Originally described from Guatemalan specimens by Dr. Hart- 
laub. 
27. Geothlypis trichas (Linn.). (N. A.) 
This is perhaps the commonest species of the Mniotiltida 
about Duenas, but like all the rest is migratory. It is usually 
to be found in the neighbourhood of water, and frequents the 
reeds surrounding the Lake of Duenas, and the bushes on the 
banks of its outlet to the River Guacalate. 
28. Geothlypis macgilliyrayii (Aud.). Sylvia tolmm, 
Townsend. (N. A.) 
Throughout the district lying between the Volcanos of Agua 
and Fuego this species is by no means uncommon, frequenting 
the outskirts of the forest and the edges of the clearings. The 
distinctive marks over and under the eye, by which G. macgiU 
livrayii is distinguished from G. philadelphica, are very apparent 
in a living or freshly-shot bird.
