REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[PAltT I. 



from nostril, .35 ; greatest depth, .185 ; tarsus, .91 ; middle toe and claw, .80; 

 hind toe and olaw, .60. 



The species above described, if its characters are maintained 

 throughout a series of specimens, appears to me worthy of separation 

 from velata and sequinoctialis, being really more different from tiicm 

 than are the two latter from each other. Whether the two speci- 

 mens are identical as species remains to be proved ; the difference 

 between the white eyelids of the one, with the eye not encircled be- 

 hind by black, and the narrow black border behind the eye of tlio 

 other, to the exclusion of the white eyelids, is somewhat analogous 

 to that distinguishing O. macgillivrayi from G. Philadelphia. The 

 former condition may, however, be only a feature of immaturity, as 

 the female and young O. Philadelphia have whitish eyelids. 



The differences from allied species are expressed in the synopsis. 

 The ash of the head is even more extended than in G. velata — reach- 

 ing over the nape and on the sides of head, where it replaces much 

 of the black of the cheeks of the others. The bill is much stouter, 

 the culmen more curved ; the tail is longer, and the wings shorter anJ 

 more rounded. The legs are apparently intermediate in character.
