and toes deep brownish ; iris ilars-orange " (R, Ridgivaij). Total 

 length about 19 inches, culmen 2-8, wing 11'6, tail 3'!J, tarsus 3'9. 



Adult male in irinler 'plmnarji:. Diflers from the summer plumage 

 chiefly in wanting the long plumes of the nape ; the scapular plumes 

 also not so developed. 



The tawny or brown shade upon the head seems to me charac- 

 teristic of the birds of the second year, as the white band on the 

 sides of the head is also tinged with tawny buff, and there is a 

 certain amount of rufous on the feathers of the throat and chest. 



Young. Differs from the adult in being brown and having small 

 triangular spots of rufous-brown or buff to all the feathers of the 

 upper surface ; the head and crest black with longitudinal brown 

 centres to the feathers ; sides of face and sides of neck brown, strongly 

 streaked with white ; throat white ; rest of under surface of body 

 white, with an ochreous tinge and thickly streaked with black, less 

 distinctly on the abdomen, which is thickly marked with ovate spots : 

 " bill greenish black, the lower and basal part of the lower mandible 

 greenish yellow, as are the eyelids and bare space before the eye ; 

 legs and feet dull yellowish green, the scutellte and scales in front 

 as well as the claws dusky ; iris pale orange " {J. J. Audubon). 



Hub. The same as that given above for tlie genus.
