''Specimens from Nica.<ii>, Marin County, are, a-: a rule, quite as deeply coloreii 

 ;is T. b. calophonns, in fact but for their different measurements (which are those of 

 T. b. spilurus) would be referable to that form. One example trom Nicasio, in Mr. 

 Brewster's collection (no. 20068), is, on the other hand, grayer even than T. h. dry- 

 moicus an<l can only l)e regar«le«l as abnormal.
