SCARDAFELLA, Bonaparte. 
Cu.—Bill lengthened ; culmen more than half the length of head measured from the frontal feathers. Feet as in Chamaepelia, 
Wings with the tertials nearly as long as the primaries ; shorter, however, than the first primary. Tail considerably longer 
than the wings ; much graduated, (of fourteen feathers?) ; the feathers narrow, linear, or tapering towards the end. 
This remarkable type is a miniature of Hcfopistes or Zenaidura in respect to the tail, which 
is even longer compared with the wings. 
fourteen tail feathers, but of this I cannot speak with certainty. 
_ Female.—Above ashy olive, changing to purer ashy on the wings. 
Scaly Dove.
