Another example (236, Phil. Acad. Coll.) differs only in clearer 

 brown of the head, narrower rufous stripes below, and paler legs. A 

 specimen in Mr. Lawrence's collection, from Guatemala, is partly in 

 the immature plumage ; in this the head above and nape are gray 

 tinged with chocolate, and without spots; the rest of the plumage, 

 however, is adult, and is much as described above, except that the 

 stripes beneath are less rufescent, — only a little more so than the 

 back. The size is also a little smaller, measuring, wing, 2.30; tail, 

 2.10. 



A young specimen from Guatemala, in the collection of the Boston 

 Society of Natural History, is in all respects exactly like the preced- 

 ing, except that it shows indication of narrow longitudinal streaks 

 on the sides of the crown. 



There can be no doubt that this is the species of Temminck, as 

 his figure, above cited, agrees unmistakably with the specimens be- 

 fore me.
