92.5' is a t}'pographical error for 68.5, but the hill appears to be 2 mm. 

 shorter. Coloration similar to that of the male and female of P. caudatus 

 Grant, from which it may be readily distinguished by the shortness of 

 the tail, 81 mm. in the female of F. griseipectus and 86. 3G in the female 

 of P. caudatus. The outermost tail-feather is slender and abortive, 

 measuring 32 mm. in length; tarsus with six scutes; rictal bristles 

 scarcely discernible; plumage soft and loose, the feathers of the back and 

 rump 35 mm. in length, with gray bases and fluffy aftershafts; webs of 

 rectrices decomposed and abraded apically; general color above burnt 

 umber, washed with vandyke-brown on rump and upper tail-coverts; 

 tail darker; wing-quills brownish black, the outer webs margined with 

 the same color as the upper parts and extending to the outer webs of the 

 under side of wing ; head darker, inclining to sepia, with a dirty grayish 

 supraorbital stripe; sides of throat, breast, and a wash down center of 

 abdomen mouse-gray ; chin and middle of throat white, each feather with 

 a grayish middle; sides, crissum, and imder tail-coverts like the back; 

 breast tinged with gray. Iris hazel; bill with maxilla black; mandible 

 grayish horn-color; feet and claws sepia-brown (from fresh specimens). 

 Length, 176; alar expanse, 200; wing, 63; tail, 81; bill, measured from 

 base of mandible, 14; bill from nostril, 8.5; tarsus, 14; middle toe with 

 claw, 23." (M earns.)
