No. 2O.] THE BIRDS OF CONNECTICUT. 57 



bird was an adult male with rather undeveloped genitalia, its 

 remarkably unworn plumage also indicating that it had not bred. 

 In general coloring it resembles P. fuscicollis in breeding plumage, 

 the rump more nearly approaching that of P. maculata. The 

 upper tail coverts are white, the feathers, as a rule, broadly banded 

 or striped with brown. The breast feathers are washed with 

 brownish, as in P. maculata, and their dark centers are broader 

 than in P. fuscicollis. In measurements this bird is exactly half- 

 way between males of the two species, and practically identical 

 with females of P. maculata: length, 8.25 in. ; extent, 16.62 ; ex- 

 posed culmen, 1.07; wing, 5.07; tail, 2.46; tarsus, 1.12; middle 

 toe with nail, I in. The sternum also is about the size of that 

 of the female P. maculata, and intermediate between males of 

 the two species.
