Adult female : Similar to male, but crowu and occiput dull smoky 

 grayisli, lighter auteriorly, darker posteriorly. 



Auotlier adult male (No. U2570, same locality, etc., September 20), is 

 essentially like tlie type, but dififers in the following particulars : The 

 forehead is rather more extensively whitish, the color clearer, and 

 the sides of the head are paler; the breast is minutely but very sparsely 

 speckled or flecked with dusky ; the belly is much less orange; the 

 rump and upper tail-coverts are nearly immaculate, and the white bars 

 across inner webs of middle tail-.feathers are broader, more regular, and 

 more numerous (seven instead of five). Length (skin) 8.50, wing 4.85, 

 tail 3, exposed culmen .98, tarsus .85. 



Three adult females are essentially alike, but differ considerably in 

 coloration of inuer webs of middle tail-feathers. In No. 112581 there is 

 merely a little white running longitudinally, irregularly and interrupt- 

 edly, near the edge on the basal third, concealed by the upper coverts. 

 In No. 112599 there is more of this white, which extends to within l.'M of 

 the tip. In No. 112580 the white is in the form of transverse bars, much 

 as in the adult male described as the type. 



An adult male, labelled "49165, San Salvador, (3. A., I^Ir. Hardiman," 

 is intermediate between this form and true G. santacruzi.thoiigh nearer 

 the former. The inner webs of middle tail-feathers have seven distinct, 

 regular, white bars, and the under parts have the deep olivaceous colora- 

 tion of the Honduras race; but the frontlet is deep orange, and the 

 dimensions are more those of true C. santacruzi, being as follows: 

 Length (skin) 9, wing 5.40, tail 3.40, exposed culmen 1.20, tarsus .95.
