His collection contained also a Brown Thrush with a malformed bill, in 

 which the bill is slender, lengthened, and curved to the right, with the 

 upper mandible twisted partially beneath the lower, which is considerably 

 longer than the upper. ^.ci.CLLe^, -CS^

6. Harporhynchus rufus. 



First plumage. Generally similar to adult, but with the spots on the 

 under parts much thicker, more diffuse, and dull black instead of reddish- 

 brown. The pileum is slightly obscured by a blackish wash ; the rump 

 rich golden-brown, and the spotting on the wing-coverts fawn-color. From 

 specimens in my collection obtained at Cambridge, July 13, 1874. 



Fall specimens differ from full-plumaged spring birds in having the 

 upper parts of a darker, richer red, with a much stronger rufous wash on 

 the under parts.
