 ground of face and side of the ueck white, but with similar black 

 markings ; also in having the entire rump red ; the broad black 

 stripe down the side of the neck not olive posteriorly ; the hind 

 neck conspicuously white. The dimensions are greater, very con- 

 spicuously so in Northern examples. Total length 12 inches, ciil- 

 meu 23, wing 6-7, tail 3-4, tarsus 1-33 ; toes (without claws) — 

 outer anterior 1-03, outer posterior 1'17, inner anterior OS, inner 

 posterior 0-56. 



Adult female. Differs from the adult male in having the fore- 

 head, crown, and elongated occipital and nuchal feathers brownish 

 black, with more or less rounded spots of white, some of the spots 

 being slightly tinged with buff. Total length 12 inches, culmen 2, 

 wing 6-7c^, tail 3"55, tarsus 1'23. 



Sonthern examples of this species rtin small, and are deeper- 

 coloured than those from the north.
