Wing, 15.00-18.00 ; tail, 10.50-12.00 ; cuhneu, 1.10-1.35 ; tarsus, 2.45- 

 4.80; middle toe, 1.70-2.10. Bill elongated and compressed, the tip 

 well produced ; upper outline of the cere nearly parallel with the lower. 

 Primaries decidedly longer than the secondaries, the inner webs of the 

 outer five or six slightly sinuated ; fourth or fifth quill longest ; first 

 shorter than the ninth. Tail nearly even, but the lateral pair slightly 

 shortest. Upi^er fail-coverts ichite. Adult: — Uniform black, with more 

 or less of a plumbeous cast, especially on the neck, jugulum, and back; 

 remiges indistinctly banded with dark plumbeous. Upper tail-coverts, 

 end of tail, and one or two wide bands across the tail, pure white ; 

 tibiae and lining of the wing sometimes barred with white. " Iris 

 brown; cere, lores, and feet yellow." Young: — Above blackish-brown

 the remiges indistinctly banded"^ with black. Head, neck, and lower 

 parts light ochraceous, each feather with a sharply-defined medial 

 streak of black ; these streaks lanceolate on the head and neck, more 

 cuneate on the jugulum, and on the abdomen and side sometimes suf- 

 fused into a prevalent irregular spotting. Tibine transversely barred 

 with black aud light ochraceous. On the head, the dark streaks are 

 very minute, or nearly absent, in a conspicuous, broad, superciliary 

 stripe, and on the cheeks and throat ; while they blend from the pos- 

 terior angle of the eye back along the upper edge of the auriculars,
