«In some specimens of T. m. modestus the middle rectrices are as indistinctly 

 barred as in the present form; but the individual variation with respect to this char- 

 acter in the typical form is very considerable, whereas in the present one the nine 

 specimens are practically alike. The form is not a very strongly characterized one, 

 but the differences, though slight, are apparently constant, and on the whole are 

 at least as great as in the case of the Panama form ( T. m. dutus), which represents 

 the opposite extreme as to coloration. 



* Five specimens. 



« Three npecimens. 



d The single specimen from Hondurus (San Pedro Sula) is in such badly worn and 

 faded plumage that its positive identification with either form is impracticable.
