the feathered part in front of tarsus 0.45 in. (=11.5 mm.), the bare part in 

 front of same 0.4 in. ( =10.5 mm.). 



In the specimen before me the bare part of tarsus in front measures 

 only about 0.25 in. ( = 5.5 mm.), i.e., much shorter than was given by Sharpe, 

 and consequently the feathered part is much longer. Possibly Dresser was 

 quite right in making the statement : U S. gymnopodus, Gray, appears to be 

 merely a specimen which had accidentally lost the feathers of the lower 

 tarsus."
