NEOCHLOE. STL 
ternally with white, the outer edges of primaries with gray. Bill rather dark 
horn color, paler on the edges and end of lower mandible. Legs dark 
plumbeous. \ 
The nostrils are circular, and in the anterior extremity of the nasal groove ; 
the tips of frontal feathers reaching to their posterior edge, but not growing 
up toit. The tongue is broad and fleshy, the end thin, flat, and horny; the 
tip quite deeply cleft; the outer edge somewhat lacerated. (Note from alco- 
holic specimen.) 
(No. 37,331, 4%.) Total length, 5.65; wing, 2.50; tail, 2.50, graduation, 
.25; difference between 10th primary and longest, .38; exposed portion of 
1st primary, .90, of 2d, 1.58, of longest (6th) (measured from exposed base 
of 1st primary), 1.94; length of bill from forehead, .62, from nostril, .35, along 
gape, .71; tarsus, .78; middle toe and claw, .54, claw alone, .20; hind toe 
and claw, .46, claw alone, .23. 
The type specimen of the species, kindly lent by Dr. Sclater, 
agrees exactly with those from the Three Marias. The species is 
quite unique in its peculiar coloration, and its discovery at the 
Three Marias is one of the most interesting of the results of Col. 
Grayson’s important explorations in northwestern Mexico. The 
exact locality of Dr. Sclater’s bird has not been indicated.

which is considerably rounded; wing short and broad; the primaries not 
much longer than se-

equal to 9th or 10th; 
the 6th longest. Feet
