Adult female. Similar to P. cestivalis, of which it is a light- 

 coloured form, differing only in its more foxy rufous colour, with 

 less grey and smaller black centres to the dorsal feathers : " bill 

 dark brown above, light blue beneath ; feet very light flesh-colour ; 

 iris hazel " (Audubon). Total length 5 inches, culmen 0-5, wing 

 2-4, tail 2-2, tarsus 0-65. 



Mr. Brewster (Auk, ii. p. 106) admits that intermediate speci- 

 mens between P. bachmani and P. cestivalis occur at Charleston, 

 where the ranges of the two species meet. The single specimen in 

 the British Museum shows the characters of the race very plainly, 

 but I cannot judge sufficiently of the constancy of their value 

 without examining a larger series.

 Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana.
