of longest (4tli) (measured from exposed base of 1st primary), 1.45 ; length 

 of bill from forehead, .53, from nostril, 30, along gape, .60 ; tarsus, .07 ; bind 

 toe and claw, .44. 



The type speciijien of this species does not appear entirely mature, 

 although if so the coloration of the adult will probably not be ma- 

 terially different. It pei-haps comes nearest in coloration to the 

 description of H. Jiavipes, Lafr.
