This mount agrees most closely with the plate, save that 

 the outer rectrices on the right side are missing. 

 However, this is of no particular importance in view 

 of the explicit tag statement that this is the 

 specimen figured. 



Mounted bird in fair (Dndition save as above. Plumage 

 fairly fresh, as if taken in, perhaps, midwinter. 



Plate as colored is very much too blue. 



Examined at Leiden on July 3, 1939.
