a, b. Adult. Trujillo, N.W. Teru, 1 Sept. 1912. 



These two birds were collected by the late Lord Brabourne 

 and presented by him to the British Museum. 



No. 1664. Imm. Chosica, Peru, 850 metres^ 30 Jan. 

 19(J0. Native name " Tortalita." 



This young bird is similar to the adult female, but differs 

 in being everywhere paler, with narrow white edgings to the 

 feathers on the upper surface, and the fore-neck drab-'grey 

 instead of being pale vinous. 



In following Clyde Todd's distribution of this species, 

 with the material at my disposal, I find that there is 

 more or less variation in the wing-measurement : from 

 Trinidad we have two individuals with the Aving-measurement 

 73 mm., from Colombia four specimens 75 mm., from 

 British Guiana four individuals measure 73-77 mm., while 

 from eastern Brazil nine examples measure 71-81 mm., and 

 from Peru seven specimens measure 73-78 mm. It will be 

 observed, therefore, that the smallest are from Trinidad 

 and the largest from eastern Brazil.
