 Ortyx leucopo^on Lesson Type 



No. 12.574. Collection - Par. Mas. , V/ing 100.0, 

 tail 61,0, oilmen 12.2, tarsus 28.0, middle toe 

 minus claw 22. 5» San Carlos (Centre Amerique), 



Poorly mounted bird, badly sootstained; not 

 sexed but in adult male plumage, slightly abraded. 



"Saus [sic] Carlos (Centre Amerique) Donne par 

 M. Lesson. 



Ortyx leucopoffon Less, type d' 1' espece, type 

 de la planche 36 de M. Desmurs. 12.574 Eupsychortyx 

 leucopogon (Less) Plus petit que Eupsychortyx 

 leucopogon Gould." 



It would thus appear that the bird in Cambridge 

 is not the type of Desmur's plate. 



Type examined at Paris July 31, 1933.
