Town. One of the collected specimens (N*^ 10 , immature 

 female) has the gray feathers on the head , especially on 

 front, sides of head and chin, strongly intermixed with 

 rusty brown ones, which latter must be considered as the 

 remainders of the plumage of the first year, which would 

 thus be entirely brown. The quills, especially the secon- 

 daries , the wing-coverts and scapulars are , as far as they 

 are reddish brown , banded across with black. The metallic 

 spots on the wings, so characteristical in the adult stage, 

 are entirely wanting.

A small number of specimens , amongst which a half- 

 grown female , were obtained at Schieffelinsville. 



To what I have said in my above cited paper I have to 

 add , that the red color of tbe naked parts in the adult 

 bird is considerably darker on the occiput and hind 

 neck, and that in live specimens the skin on the lower 

 neck, partially covered with white feathers, is beautiful
