Similar to 0. (dpestris, but much smaller, and with a rich yellow 

 throat ; the prevailing colour much more ruddy, and not so vinous. 

 The yellow colour of the throat is sometimes so pale that it ap- 

 proaches that of 0. arenicola, but as a rule it is very strongly 

 marked ; but this is more the case with the Mexican than with the 

 Californian examples, which tend towards 0. strigata. 



Mr. Eidgway's measurements are as follows : — Adult male. 

 Length about 6-75-7-25 inches, wing 3-8-4-15 (3-99), tail 2-8-3-0 

 (2-91). Adult female. Length about 6'5-7"0 inches, wing 3'75- 

 3-8 (3-78), tail 2-7-2-8 (2-75).
