of the crown at the back of the head ; nasal phimes, a spot on the side 

 of the mandibular ramus, a spot above the eye, and the side of the head 

 beginning as a narrow line behind the lores and spreading widely over 

 the auricular region, white; back and wings barred with strong white 

 bars, which tend to become spots on the wing coverts; rump plain 

 black ; under surface white ; a broad black stripe extending from the 

 base of the mandible along the side of the neck, diffusing on the sides 

 of the breast into elongated spots of black, which become smaller on 

 the sides; feathers of flanks with partly concealed bars of fuscous f 

 under wing coverts spotted with black; inner webs of primaries and 

 secondaries with large spots of white; under tail coverts with partly 

 concealed, pointed spots of fuscous; two outer rectrices white, with 

 cross bars at the tip and other partial bars across the inner webs of 

 dull black ; third rectrix with about half of the distal part of the outer

Measurements. — Twenty-nine males, wing 110.2-117 (113.8), tail 

 G5-78.3 (74.4 1^), culmen from base 20.7-24.0 (22.0), tarsus 18.5-21.5 

 (20.4) mm. 



Eighteen females, wing 111.3-116.7 (113.7), tail 71.5-79.7 (75.4"), 

 culmen from base 19.0-23.0 (21.2), tarsus 20.0-21.0 (20.4 ^«) mm. 



Type, male, wing 112.6, tail 75.0, culmen from base 21.2, tarsus

Range. — This form is found in central and southern Florida, speci- 

 mens having been examined from Enterprise, Gainesville, Clearwater, 

 Davista, Tarpon Springs, Seven Oaks, Auburndale, Lake Trafford, 

 Lake Arbuckle, near Fort Bassinger, Driggs Landing, Kissinnnee^ 

 Lake Hatch-Ne-Haw, Miami, Long Key, and Florida City. 



Remarks. — Through the range indicated I have seen only one speci- 

 men that falls without the dimensions given. This is a male taken 

 at Arnolds, Fla., February 27, 1895, with the wing 119.2 mm. This 

 bird I have considered a straggler of Dryohates h. horealis^ a wanderer 

 from farther north. I have noted no color differences between the 

 two forms.
