Adults. — Similar in coloration to T^ h. /mttoni, but upper parts 

 darker, with the pileum, hindneck, and back duller and grayer olive, 



« Measurements of the type specimen. I have not been able to examine a series 

 of this form, the only other example seen being a young bird from Victoria, Van- 

 couver Island, which differs from a young bird of T'. h. huttoni in exactly the same 

 respects as does the adult. 



''Said to winter in California, but I have not seen a California example referal)le 

 to this form.
