Description. — Adult in Spring (No. 3857,$ ad., March 30, 1885, 6 m. 

 N. of Maricopa, Arizona: E. A. M. ; No. 4010, $ ad., May 11, 1885, 

 between Casa Grande and Sweet Water, Arizona: E. A. M.). General 

 color above pale ashy-drab; below much paler, tinged with ochraceous. 

 Chin and upper part of throat, white, bordered by indistinct dusky sub- 

 maxillary stripes. Cheeks and maxillie whitish, with dusky spotting. The 

 color is yellowish white in the median line below, shading very gradually 

 to ochraceous upon the flanks, crissum, and under tail-coverts. The old, 

 faded rectrices are brownish-drab; the new quills clear dark fuscous, hav- 

 ing ashy tips and outer webs to the external feathers. The concealed 

 bases of the feathers are plumbeous. 



Toung i7t perfect first plumage (No. 4009, J, May 11, 1S85, near Casa 

 Grande, Arizona: E. A. M.). Excepting the quills and upper tail-coverts, 

 the coloring is scarcely darker than in adults taken at the same season ; 

 and new quills in adults are quite as dark as the fresh ones of the young. 

 The markings are the same, there being no spotting anywhere. The tone 

 is a trifle rusty upon the back; and the upper tail-coverts are light red-
