Hab. Fort Whipple, near Prescott, Arizona. 
(No. 36,988, 4?) Bill shorter than the head ; gonys slightly convex. Color 
of upper parts, with sides of neck, ash-gray ; the middle of back, and less 
conspicuously, the upper tail coverts, streaked with black. A line from 
nostrils to above the eye (passing into white for a short distance behind it), 
eyelids, a crescentic patch beneath the eye, the chin, throat, and centre of 
jugulum, bright yellow; the rest of under parts, including inside of wing, 
axillars, and tibiew, white; the border of the yellow, and the sides of body 
streaked with black. A line from bill, through the eye, the cheeks (in- 
closing the yellow crescent), the sides of the vertex, the forehead, and 
the centres of feathers on top of head, blackish. Wings and tail blackish, 
the outer edges of the larger feathers pale bluish-gray; two white bands 
across the wing coverts. Lateral tail feather white, except the inner web at 
extreme base, the shaft, and a narrow streak at the end of the outer web; 
the next feather similar, but the basal blackish extending farther along 
3d feather with edge of outer web, and a wedge-shaped patch in end of inner 
web, only, white. 
Autumnal specimens similar; the black markings less distinct; the back 
tinged with olivaceous. 
Very young birds do not differ materially from the adult, showing nothing 
of the spotting and mottling of the Turdide. 
Total length (fresh specimen before being skinned), 5.00 ; expanse of wings, 
8.00. Total length (prepared specimen), 4.60; wing, 2.75 ; tail, 2.30; length 
of bill from forehead, .50, from nostril, .30; along gape, .56; tarsus, .65; 
middle toe and claw, .52,; claw alone, .16; hind toe and claw, .40; claw 
aloue, .19. 
This interesting néw species, recently discovered in Arizona, by 
Dr. Coues, and named by him after a member of his family, is 
almost exactly like D. nigrescens in the color and markings of the 
back (with its blackish interscapular streaks), wings, and tail, as 
well as of the under parts, except that the chin and throat are
