This species varies less in its markings and shade of color than 
perhaps any of our small spotted Thrushes. In some there is a faint 
tinge of pale buff on the under parts, which are nearly pure white in 
others, with the wash of buff restricted to the breast. Some speci- 
mens appear more spotted beneath than others, but this is the case with 
Northern skins (as 1569, from Carlisle) equally with more Southern ; 
in fact specimens from Guatemala and Mexico exhibit precisely the 
same variations in this respect. I am, therefore, not disposed to 
consider Turdus densus, of Bonaparte, as a good species, unless 
possessing distinctive characters not mentioned by that author, and 
other than that of being more thickly spotted beneath, with the spots 
larger and the bird smaller. 
The young Turdus mustelinus is like the adult, except in having 
rusty yellow triangular spots in the ends of the wing coverts. 
Dr. Sclater gives Jamaica as one of the winter localities of this 
Thrush. Mr. March has never met with it, and is of the opinion 
that the bird referred to by Gosse is the Imus hillii, at one time 
supposed by the Jamaican Ornithologists to be the 7. mustelinus.
