The male selected for the type is an extreine example ; no dtlicrs have the character of tlio 

 variety pie.seiiti'd in a defjit'e as exa},'f,'''''''t'''l "'< '1'''* specimen. Nds. 3iiiJ (^) and 170 ^9^ "' t'"'

 as more ]ierl'ect, or rathi'r as average representatives of the variety. Tlie.se two males are almost

 black. In the I'orto Kico specimen the breast is as deeply ochraceoiis as in the ixiiklliiiiix style ; 

 hut the spois are larf^cr and more iiuiiii'ioiis even than in any examples of .s/iiin-rriiis. A female 

 from here diU'ers from the type only in a few unimportant points, the luincipal dilference being 

 in the markings beneath. In this there is a general oiliraceoiis wash on the lower parts, the
