(ENffiNAS CHUUQUENSIS Ridgway. 



CHIRIQUf PIGEON'. 



Similar to CE. purpureotincta but with longer bill, wing, and tail 

 (the first relatively more slender), color of head and neck more 

 vinaceous, and inner webs of remiges wholly grayish brown; similar 

 also to (E. nigrirostris but bill very much more slender, upper parts 

 more purplish (less olivaceous) brown, inner webs of remiges without 

 cinnamomeous (woodbrown) tinge, and color of under parts darker. 



Adult (male?). — Forehead and anterior portion of crown between 

 vinaceous-drab and brownish drab, passing into deep brownish drab 

 on posterior part of crown, occiput, and hindneck, the latter trans- 

 versely spotted (a pair of subterminal spots on each feather) with 

 purplish vinaceous or light vinaceous-lilac; 5 rest of upper parts dark 

 olive-brown or dark bister, passing into more purplish brown (nearly 

 light seal brown, somewhat tinged with bronzy) on rump, upper tail- 

 coverts, and tail," the primaries darker and more grayish brown; 

 sides of head and neck, foreneck, and chest plain vinaceous-drab or 

 deep brownish drab, passing into deep vinaceous-buff or avellanepus 

 on chin and upper throat and into brownish drab on breast and more 

 posterior under parts, the under tail-coverts dark vinaceous-drab, 



a = Myristicivora bicolor (Scopoli) Bonaparte. 



& These spots are probably not always present, as they are an inconstant feature in 

 other forms of this genus. 



c This purplish hue is more pronounced in freshly grown feathers, and a few such 

 occur among the posterior scapulars and proximal greater wing-coverts.
