Adtdt male. Differs from D. stricklandi of Malherbe (Eev. Zool. 

 1845, p. 373) in having the upper parts perfectly uniform and of a 

 lighter brown colour, the dark markings on the undcrparts being 

 rounded and drop-like spots. Total length 8 inches, culmen 1-15, 

 wing 4-55, tail 2-6, tarsus 0-83 ; toes (without claws) — outer 

 anterior 0*48, outer posterior 0"55, inner anterior 0-4, inner pos- 

 terior 0'3. 



Adult female. Differs from the adult male in wanting the red 

 occipital baud. Total length 7 inches, culmen 1-05, wing 4-6, 

 tail 2-7, tarsus 0-78. 



Younr/. In both sexes the crown is red, the red occipital band of 

 the adult male bein§^wanting in the j'oung of that sex. In other 

 respects they closely resemble the adult. 



Dr. Ridgway separates the bird from the Sierra Madre de Colima 

 on account of its smaller size, and names it D. arizoncv fratenuhis. 

 I think the difference in measurement too trifling to justify the sepa- 

 ration of these specimens. I give below the size of the wing in 

 specimens from various localities : —
