having black tips. Total length 8-5 inches, culmen 1-05, wing 

 4-68, tail 2-95, tarsus 0-85 ; toes (without claws) — outer anterior 

 0-66, outer posterior 0-7, inner anterior 0-53, inner posterior 

 0-32. 



Adult female. "Wants the crimson on the outer edge of the fore- 

 head and crown, and also the red malar stripe, the latter being 

 replaced by black striped with white. In other respects resembles 

 the adult of the opposite sex. Total length 8*3 inches, culmen 1, 

 wing 4-35, tail 2-85, tarsus 0-7. 



Immature birds have the anterior half of the face whiter, the 

 posterior half barred with blackish, the ear-coverts being dusky and 

 faintly barred with a darker shade ; the side of the neck is whiter 

 and barred with dusky black ; the general colour above is duller. 



Young birds are much duller in colour both above and below, and 

 have the face whiter ; the male has the feathers of the malar stripe 

 more or less tipped with duU crimson, the ground being black ; the 

 outer edge of the forehead and crown with scarcely any indication 

 of red ; the female has the malar stripe uniform black ; the chin 

 and throat are more spotted than striped with white. 



Examples of the present species from Tobago are more rusty brown 

 on the sides of the neck, fore neck, and chest, and sometimes have 

 very faint dusky olive bars on the under wing-coverts and axillaries. 

 Trinidad specimens run smaller, and in Brazil the species diminishes 

 considerably in size, without presenting any important points of 

 difference. Specimens from Peru and Bolivia are very yellow below, 

 and have a strong tendency to lose the bars on the abdomen, flanks, 

 thighs, and under tail-coverts. Tucumau examples are dull-coloured 

 birds completely barred below, and are identical with specimens 

 from British Guiana. Southern males are inclined to assume a red 

 crown as well as their constantly red occiput, but I have never yet 

 seen this in examples from Venezuela or Guiana.
