The names of the colors referred to above are taken from Ridg- 

 way's Nomenclature of Colors, edition of 1886. The following 

 measurements of Loxia curvirostra percna were kindly made by 

 Mr. J. H. Riley, who also made the measurements of the other 

 forms which I have copied directly from Ridgway's Birds of. North 

 and Middle America.
