finely speckled with black, especially posteriorly ; uo speckling 

 on legs, neck, shoulders, and face ; flank-zone " cinnamon," 

 thighs only slightly darker ; black markings and distribution 

 of white as in preceding race. 



Schwarz remarks that this and the two preceding forms 

 are very closely allied, aud that more material from inter- 

 mediate localities will certainly show them to intergrade, but 

 the extremes at hand are different enough from each other to 

 deserve subspecific rank.

 p. 11, 1913.
