HARPORHYNCHUS LECONTII, Bonap. 
Toxostoma lecontiit, Lawr. Ann. N. Y. Lyc. V, Sept. 1851, 109. (Fort Yuma.) 
Harporhynchus lecontii, Bonar. Comptes Rendus, XXVIII, 1854, 57 ; Notes Orn. Delattre, 39. 
Sp. Cu.—Bill much curved. Second quill about equal to the tenth ; exposed portion of the first more than half the longest ; 
outer tail feather an inch shortest. General color above light grayish ash, beneath much paler; the chin and throat above 
almost white ; the sides behind brownish yellow or pale rusty yellow ash, of which color is‘the crissum and anal region. Tail 
feathers rather dark brown on the under surface, lighter above; the outer edges and tips of exterior ones obscurely paler. 
Quills nearly like the back. 
Hab.—Frot Yuma, California. 
This species in form, shape, and curvature of bill and general appearance, is so much like 
the H. redivivus as to render it extremely likely that it will prove only one of those light 
races or varieties so often met with in birds of the lower Gilariver. The size is smaller, but this 
might be merely the result of its more southern habitat. The colors above are much lighter than 
in H. redivivus. The contrast between the body of the tail feathers and their obsoletely lighter 
edges is rather more decided than in the other species. The second quill is longer, and the first 
is fully half the longest instead of less than half. The bill in curvature and general shape is 
exactly like that of H. redivivus.
