Supra fuscus, fronte cinerascente : remigibus intus rufis: subtus albus: rectricibus lateralibus nigris albo late terminatis, duabus mediis dorso concoloribus : rostro superiore nigro, inferiore ad basin aurantiaco: long, tota 11, alee 55, caudee rectr. med. 5*8, ext. 3*5 poll. Angl. Hab. North America, Eastern States to Missouri plains (Baird) ; Mexico, Orizaba (Salle); Cuba (Gundlach) ; Jamaica (Gosse ty March) ; Ste. Croix (Newton); Trinidad (Leotaud) ; Guatemala (Salvin) ; Costa Rica (v. Frantzius) ; Panama (M'Cleannan) ; Bogota (Mus. P. L. Si) ; S. Paulo, Brazil (Natt.). I have examples of this species in m y collection from the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Bogota. In Salvin and Godman's collection are others, from the United States, Guatemala, and Panama. I have also compared those in the British Museum from various localites. The rufous colour of the primaries does not always extend through to the outer webs, but varies in amount. In the skin which I called bairdi (supposing it to be the dominicus, Baird nee auct.) it does not show on the outer web at all. I have a " Bogota" skin certainly referable to this species, so that it may probably straggle further south occasionally, and may be the species called by Pelzeln C. bairdi (Orn. Bras. p. 273), which was obtained by Natterer in the province of S. Paul, S.E. Brazil. 2. COCCYZUS MINOR. Coucou des Paletuviers de Cayenne, Buff. Pl. Enl. 813. Cuculus minor, G m . S. N. i. p. 411.
