men described is said to have probably come from California, though 
possibly from Peru. 
I do not feel warranted in changing Lafresnaye’s name, though 
it will not be at all surprising to find that he had quite a different 
species from the North American bird before him. It may be that 
Gould’s species guttatus belongs more particularly to the latter.

Cap of head reddish-brown ; the concealed centres of feathers dusky. Rest 
of upper parts grayish-brown, all the feathers of body and scapulars with 
broad central or shaft streaks of whitish edged with black; the streaks. 
irregular in outline, on some feathers nearly linear, in others widening at 
intervals along the shaft. Outer webs of the wing feathers crossed by about 
seven rows of whitish semicircular spots, with corresponding series of more 
circular ones on the inner web. Tail feathers black, all of them with a series. 
of about eight quadrate white spots on each web, which are alternate to each 
other, not opposite, and extend from or near the black shaft to the edge; the 
extreme tips of the feathers black; the two central feathers, however, more 
like the back, with irregular mottling of grayish and black. Upper tail coverts 
barred transversely with black. 
Under parts white, faintly tinged with rusty posteriorly; each feather 
spotted with black, excepting on the immaculate chin. These spots are rather 
larger and more quadrate on the jugulum, where they are sometimes on the 
sides of the feathers (on one or both sides) ; posteriorly, however, they are 
elongated or tear-shaped, and strung along the shaft, one or two on each. On 
the crissum they are large and much rounded, three or four on each longer 
feather. Legs rather dusky. Bill lead color, pale at the base below; “‘iris 
reddish-brown.” A broad white stripe from bill over the eye and nape, 
edged above and below with black; line behind the eye like the crown; cheek 
feathers white, edged with blackish. 
Immature specimens exhibit a tendency to a whitish spotting in the ends 
of the feathers of the cap. A very young bird does not, however, differ ma-
