eyes, and fore part of the neck for above half 
an inch, pale ash-color; the rest of the neck 
ferruginous chesnut, mottled with dusky; from 
thence to the vent white, like satin, mottled on 
the sides with dusky irregular spots; legs black.” 
In one of the specimens shot near Teign- 
mouth, ‘* the colors of the head and neck were 
much blended, and the ferruginous of the neck. 
- only just breaking forth.” The weight of another 
was ‘nineteen ounces and a half; length twen- 
ty-one inches and a half; the bill yellow at the 
base, dusky olive towards the tip; lore dusky; 
irides pale brown; head quite smooth ; the ferru- 
ginous color of the neck much blended with 
dusky; the white on the under parts, greatly 
mottled with the same; legs without, dusky, 
within, greenish yellow. Another variety had 
a band of white across the lower part of the 
neck.” Ep.
