This differs somewhat from specimens in the Phil. Academy, 

 the color is darker, being more plumbeous, and the white neck 

 spots are more distinct, these are only slightly apparent in some 

 of the Philadelphia examples and do not show in others. If 

 these differences are constant in other specimens, I propose to 

 distinguish it by the specific name of schistacea.
