FAMILY TURDIDAE 



M easurcments. — Males ( 1 from the breeding range, taken in June) , 

 wing 98.1-105.1 (101.7), tail 70.0-77.5 (73.7), oilmen from base 15.6- 



17.5 (16.9), tarsus 29.0-31.0 (29.9) mm. 



Females ( 10 from the breeding range, taken in May and June) , wing 

 92.2-100.4 (96.9), tail 64.2-73.4 (67.6), oilmen from base 16.2-18.4 

 (17.1), tarsus 27.7-30.0 (28.6) mm. 



Migrant from the north, recorded definitely in Panama from 2 male 

 specimens: one, in the National Museum, received from the Gorgas 

 Memorial Laboratory, collected at Almirante, Bocas del Toro, October 

 25, 1963; and a male, in the museum at the University of Cincinnati, 

 collected October 10, 1931, at Puerto Obaldia, San Bias, by Hasso von 

 Wedel. 



The northern nesting grounds extend from southwestern Quebec 

 and southern Ontario south to northeastern Ohio, eastern Pennsyl- 

 vania, central New Jersey, and the District of Columbia (Rock Creek 

 Park) and the mountains of eastern Tennessee and northwestern Geor- 

 gia. In its winter home it has been recorded from Colombia and Ven- 

 ezuela to south-central Brazil. The few reports from Panama indicate 

 that it is a passage migrant. 



CATHARUS FUSCESCENS FULIGINOSUS (Howe) 



Hylocichla fuscescens fuliginosa Howe, Auk, vol. 18, No. 3, July 1900, p. 271. 

 (Codroy, Newfoundland.) 



Characters. — Rather bright reddish brown above; in general, like 

 C. f. fuscescens, but decidedly darker. 



Measurements.- — Males (10 from Newfoundland and New Jersey), 

 wing 94.0-104.6 (100.3), tail 71.4-76.1 (73.3), oilmen from base 15.0- 



18.6 (16.2), tarsus 27.8-31.6 (29.3) mm. 



Females (6 from Newfoundland, Rhode Island, and Mississippi), 

 wing 94.2-100.2 (96.4), tail 64.2-71.2 (69.0), culmen from base 14.8- 

 17.3 (16.4), tarsus 27.9-29.9 (28.9) mm. 



This is the breeding form of Newfoundland, the Magdalen Islands, 

 and south-central Quebec. In the north it is recorded as a migrant near 

 the Atlantic Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, and is believed to 

 winter in northern South America. 



There are 2 specimens at present known from Panama, both taken 

 during Galindo's banding studies at Almirante, Bocas del Toro, a male 

 on October 25, 1962, and a female in October 1963 (without more def- 

 inite date).
