less than the longest quill. The 4th quill is longest ;. the (th and 6th scarcely 
shorter; the 7th, 8th, and 9th decreasing gradually ; the 3d about intermedi. 
ate between 7th and 8th. The primaries in the closed wing are scarcely 
more than .20 of an inch longer than the secondaries. Tail slightly rounded, 
the feathers narrow and somewhat pointed, the lateral about .15 of an inch 
shorter than the central. The bill is much compressed, being considerably 
higher than broad, though not dissimilar in shape to that of V. flavifrons. 
The feet are large; the tarsi long, about one and a third times the length of 
middle toe and claw. 
(No. 13,058, % .) Total length, 4.80; wing, 2.10; tail, 2.20; difference between 
10th primary and longest, .20; exposed portion of Ist primary, .75, of 2d, 1.25, 
of longest (4th) (measured from exposed base of Ist primary), 1.64; length 
of bill from forehead, .59, from nostril, .30, along gape, .65, depth, .17; tarsus, 
-79; middle toe and claw, .58, claw alone, .20; hind toe and claw, .48, claw 
alone, .23. 
Another specimen (No. 29,632): Wing, 2.26; tail, 2.45; exposed portion 
of 1st primary, .66, of 2d, 1.30, of longest, .1.74. 
A second specimen (No. 29,632) has the wings and tail longer, 
2.26 and 2.48; the first quill is only half the second, which, how- 
ever, like the others, is much shorter than the secondaries.
