CINCLOCERTHIA MACRORHYNCHA Sclater. 

 SANTA LUCIA TREMBLER. 



Adults {sexes alike). — Above plain grayish olive or slightly olivaceous 

 hair brown, the pileum darker, the lower rump, uj^per tail-coverts, 

 wings, and tail browner, the greater wing-coverts and remiges (some- 

 times rectrices also) with paler brownish indistinct edgings; loral, 

 suborbital, and auricular regions dusky, the last sometimes with very 

 indistinct narrow shaft-streaks of paler; malar region pale sooty 

 grayish, the feathers more or less distinctly margined with rusty; 

 luider parts dull buffy whitish or pale grayish buffy, the under 

 tail-coverts pale cinnamon or wood brow^n, the flanks tinged with 

 the same, the sides tinged with olive-grayish; axillars and imder 

 wing-coverts pale grayish buff; bill blackish, the lower basal portion 

 of mandible, more or less extensively, paler; iris yellow'' or brown ;'^ 

 legs and feet clear horn color (in dried skins). '^ 



Young. — Essentially like adults, but chest faintl}' spotted or mot- 

 tled with grayish brown. 



Adult male.— \j(^Mgih (skins), 215-238 (227); wing, 104-1 13 (107.4); 

 tail, 79-90 (87); exposed culmen, 35-40 (37); tarsus, 30-31.5 (30.6); 

 middle toe, 21.5-23 (22.7).^^ 



Adult female.— hewgiXi (skins), 205-215 (210); wing, 100-104 

 (101.7); tail, 78.5-83 (81.5); exposed culmen, 34-39.5 (36.5); tar- 

 sus, 30-31 (30.5); middle toe, 22-23 (22.3)./ 



a It is impossible to determine from the colored plate (pi. 10) in the Exotic Orni- 

 thology which form it is intended to represent, none of them having either the under 

 parts or wings nearly so rufescent. Judging from the large size and especially the 

 very long bill, however, it seems likely that the specimen (of unknown locality) 

 from which the illustration was made was an example of the jiresent subspecies.
