 from that altitude up to timber-line. I saw but two birds during six

 female in the juvenal plumage, both of which were secured.

Adult female. — Differs from adult male as follows : Black of entire

 pale cinnamon-buff and narrow, being not more than 15 mm. in width 

 on third rectrix. Length, 231 ; wing, 153 ; tail, 123 ; tarsus, 

 16 mm. 



Female, juv, — Entire upper parts rusty cinnamon-rufous, with a 

 slight reddish tinge ; feathers with a subterminal black spot of irregu-
