The length of bill in these specimens is very variable, the 

 shortest measuring (in a c/) 31 mm. and the longest nearly 40 mm. 

 (also in a d^), all intermediate sizes being represented. The difl:er- 

 ences in the size of bill stand in no connection with differences 

 in other proportions. The specimen with the shortest bill has 

 the wing measuring 117 mm., and tliat of the one with the 

 longest bill measures 118,5 mm., thus differing in this respect 

 in no considerable degree.
