Juvenal female, U.S.N. M. No. 174853, Bunguran Island, July 18, 

 1900. 



The Juvenal female differs from the adult of the same sex chiefly in 

 its more yellowish upperparts, sides of the head and of the neck. 



Of the above listed specimens, No. 174847, taken on June 6, is in the 

 midst of the molt of tail, wings, and body feathers; No. 174849, taken 

 on May 31, is molting some of the quill feathers; No. 174852, taken on 

 June 25, some of the wing quills and contour feathers; and No. 174854, 

 Juvenal, taken on July 24, has just begun to renew its body plumage. 

 The other examples show apparently no evidences of feather change. 



Measurements of all these are given in Table 37.
