Clear white with a slight greyish tinge ; front half of crown, sides 

 of head, chin, and wings, except outer secondaries, black ; tail white, 

 with a broad black subapical band ; bill with the basal half red, 

 apical half black ; feet black : whole length 8*5 inches, wing 5, 

 tail 3. Female similar but not so bright, head brownish, back 

 tinged with brownish. 



Hab. From Southern Mexico through Central and Southern 

 America down to Bolivia. 



I do not now see my way to draw a line between T. personata and 

 T. semifasciata. Inmost northern specimens, ho wever, there seems 

 to be usually not so much black on the front of the head.
