LÖNNBERG AND RENDAHL, ORNITHOLOGY OF ECUADOR. 59 



lateral rectrix prolonged and spatulelike, quite as in a male, 

 although not quite as long (total length 66 mm.), and with 

 the vane on the shaft proximally from the spatule not fully 

 so much rediiced as in a male. On the left side the cor- 

 responding rectrix is missing. It would ha ve been of great 

 interest to examine more closely the anatomy of this specimen. 

 Now nothing more is known in this respect t han t hat it must 

 have had an ovary, because it is expressely stated on the label 

 t hat it is a female, and then such a one in partly arrenoid 

 plumage.
