122 Paranga erythrocephala Oct. 18 El Batel, 5100 ft., Sinaloa A pair of yellow, tanager-appearing birds was found in the brush of a small opening in fairly dense oak-pine forest. Both called, and the note was a finch-like chip. They were slightly larger than a song sparrow and fringilled in manner. The female was collected first; the male was shot also, but was lost. So far as I could observe, the male was similar to the female except that face was washed with red, very much as in Paranga ludovici- ciana.
