of longest (4th) (measured from exposed base of 1st primary), 1.45; length 
of bill from forehead, .53, from nostril, 30, along gape, .60; tarsus, .67; hind 
toe and claw, .44. 
The type specimen of this species does not appear entirely mature, 
although if so the coloration of the adult will probably not be ma- 
terially different. It perhaps comes nearest in coloration to the 
description of H. flavipes, Lafr.
