TOXOSTOMA CRISSALE Henry. 

 CRISSAL THRASHER. 



Adults iti Spring and summer. — Above plain grayish brown (light 

 ])roccoli brown or approaching light hair brown), the tail slightly 

 darker, with rectrices tipped, more or less distinctly, with paler and 

 more buffy brown or cinnamomcous; under parts similar but paler 

 and slightly more buffy, passing into dull white on throat and chin 

 and into cinnamon-rufous on posterior flanks, anal region, and under 



a One specimen, the type; this is the only example I have seen, and although the 

 differences noted above are, if constant, sufiic-ient to warrant the separation of a 

 Lower California race, I am not entirely satisfied that the supposed form is really valid.
