"Male has the bill black above, tinted with red. The patch

" The bird I send from the low country (No. 1 16) differs in several 

 respects from the hill form, but possibly the differences are not 

 sufficient to separate the two specifically. Iris brown ; bill fleshy 

 red." 



The difi"erences in plumage noticed by Mr. Wray consist principally 

 in the darker coloration of one of the specimens, but it is not 

 sufficient to separate them.
