4() GEOTRYGON COSTARICENSIS. 



of being chestnut-brown, are mottled with black and brown. The legs, as 

 far as I can judge from a faded skin, instead of being bright red, are black. 

 The white patch on the throat is almost absent. 



The young female is not in so interesting a dress, being too much 

 advanced. It differs slightly from the adult. The isabelline patch on the 

 forehead is rather smaller ; the legs not red, but dusky ; and a few mottled 

 feathers remain on the flanks. 



Total length of adult male about I If inches.
