 finely mottled and dusky. Chin, throat, and jugulum dull white, the 

 jugulum distinctly streaked with dusky ; rest of the lower parts 

 nearly plain dirty white, becoming light pinkish cinnamon on the 

 sides ; crissum heavilv barred with black. 3Iale — wing 2- 60-2-75 

 inches, tail 2-20-2-3d, bill 0-5S-0-60, tarsus 0-80-0-90, middle toe 

 O-oO-O-oo. Fe7nale—mng 2-50-2-60, tail 2-00-2-20, bill 0-55-

Mr. Eidgway makes the following remarks : — " The upper tail- 

 coverts are strongly barred transversely. There is a tolerably well- 

 defined light superciliary stripe. In no. 70049 there is a deep 

 reddish-brown suff'usion across the breast, apparently an accidental 

 stain from contact with ferruguinous earth. The diff'erences ex- 

 hibited in these insular specimens from the continental series are 

 quite slight, but they are so constant as to demand recognition. As 

 to colours, there is no difference beyond slightly darker shades 

 throughout ; the lower parts being soft pinkish cream-colour instead 

 of creamy white, the other portions of a darker shade to correspond." 

 He also gives a series of measurements to show the smaller size of 

 the insular bird. 



The Guadeloupe Rock-Wren represents the foregoing species in 

 the island of Guadeloupe, off the coast of Lower California.
