The differences in proportion are still more striking. The tail is 

 consideraldy longer, exceeding tlie wings; and the tarsus is much 

 shorter, being but little longer than the middle toe and claw. The 

 bill is rather longer. The first primary also longer. 



Of the two s[)eeimens in the collection one has the feathers worn, 

 and is prol)ably in summer dress. The other is moulting and in 

 autumnal livery, thus matching the two Central American skins of
