REVIEW OP AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[part I.' 



three or four black bands on each feather— something similar being 

 seen on the tibiee. There is a small narrow black line along the 

 edge of the lower jaw. Nothing like these markings are visible in 

 the Smithsonian specimen of C. capisiratus. The eyes are red, 

 according to Dr. Sartorius. 



The differences in proportion are still more striking. The tail is 

 considerably longer, exceeding the wings ; and the tarsus is much 

 shorter, being but little longer than the middle toe and claw. The 

 bill is rather longer. The first primary also longer. 



Of the two specimens in the collection one has the feathers worn, 

 and is probably in summer dress. The other is moulting and in 

 autumnal livery, thus matching the two Central American skins of 



capistratus. 



Total length, 6.50 ; wing, 2.60 ; tail, 2.80 ; exposed portion of 1st primary, 

 1.15, of 2d, 1.70, of longest (measured from exposed base of 1st primary), 

 2.00 ; length of bill from forehead, .95, from nostril, .57 ; along gape, 1.05 ; 

 tarsus, .87; middle toe and claw, .78; claw alone, .24; hind toe and claw, 

 .62; claw alone, .30.

(No. 22,381, type.) Bill lengthened. Upper part of head, line from bill to 

 eye, and a stripe behind it blackish-brown ; a little lighter towards the occi- 

 put. Upper parts grayish brown, the feathers of the back and scapulars 

 white, with one or two pairs of large rounded blackish spots, separated by 

 whitish or white shaft streaks and shaft spots. On the nape the black and 

 white in streaks, rather than spots, predominate to the exclusion of the ground 

 color. Wings showing six or seven hands of brownish-white across outer 

 webs ; inner webs edged with grayish-white. Tail feathers (except central) 

 black above, broadly tipped with white, soiled at the end with brown ; the 

 outer webs with four or five quadrate spots of white ; the lateral feather with 

 a white patch at end of inner web, next to the terminal white. Markings of 

 central feathers much broken, witliout regular bands. Upper tail coverts 

 banded transversely. Beneath quite pure white, a little brownish behind, 

 and each featlier, except on the chin, with a conspicuous but isolated rounded
