BIRDS OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA. 



227 



Adult female.— Length (skins), 160-174 (169) ; wing, 98-105 (102.1) ; 

 lil, 49-64 (58.4); exposed culmen, 21-23.5 (21.9); tarsus, 18-19.5 

 L8.7); outer anterior toe, 12-14 (13.1)." 



Apart from the slightly shorter wing and tail there is very little by which to dis- 

 aguish this form from D. v. sanctorum, unless it is the apparently broader red nuchal 

 md of the adult male. I am very doubtful whether the Nicaraguan bird is really 

 iparable from the Costa Rican one. It is true that eleven of the twelve specimens 

 [amined have the xmder parts conspicuously paler than in moat Costa Rican exam- 

 iBs; but five of the latter (out of a series of seventy-nine) are exactly hke Nicaraguan 

 )ecimens in the color of the under parts, one of them (from Cop^y, Dota) being 

 mn appreciably paler than the palest of the latter.
