Saxiiii^ oiiK' llu' siiij^li- Aiulros s|)eciincn, the aboNf birds arc all 

 in a curiousK- mixfd i)luinaiic, the result perhaps of a partial moult, 

 some of the feathers beinjj; old and worn and brown, while adjacent 

 feathers are new and bright, although fully grown. This condition, 

 which nia\' be noticed in other species of this family, affects not only 

 the body-plumage, but the remiges and rectrices and their coverts as 

 well, apparenth' in no particular order, as is the case in a "regular" 

 nuuill.

It will be noted that the series, taken as a whole, shows considerable 

 indix'idual variation in size, one specimen being as small as the form 

 from Andres. Allhough all of these birds are in comparatively 

 fresh plumage, none have tails measuring up to those given by Mr. 

 Miller (Auk, XI, 1894, 165I.
