Sumichrast Blackbird in Tamaulipas, Mexico
E. W. Nelson has identified as belonging to this species (Dives dives) a skin in my collection (no. 11219; ♀ ad.; near Tampico, Tamaulipas; Dec. 18, 1908; A. P. S.) taken by one of my assistants on the open plain about halfway between Tampico and Altamira, Tamaulipas. It was the only individual of the species secured at the time. This somewhat extends the range of Dives dives as given by Ridgway in his Birds of North and Middle America, Part II, page 254.
