This bird is clearly distinct from the North American P . «estiva
upon an accurate comparison. It is.of quite a different red» being,
much brighter; the biU'is larger and of a dark plumbeous, not -horn
colour, and the feet are nearly black.
As I find that Spix’s T . saira, of which I have seen the type at
Munich, iathe female ©f this bird, I have thought it right to use that
name for it, as first given, instead of the usually adopted asarae,

This Mexican species is quite different from the saira and (estiva,
being larger in size and greyish-red above. I have never observed it
except in collections from Mexico. I think the P. azara, noticed in
Sitgreaves’ ‘ Report of the Zuni and Colorado Rivers Expedition,’ is
very lively to be this bird, as the saira (a za ra ) does hot range nearly
so far north.
