190 
white patch, about 0.75-0.90 wide on the outer feather, the outer web of 
which is also edged v^ith white. Lower [)arts white medially, the entire 
sides deep rufous; crissura ochraceous. Wing, 3. LO-3.25; tail, 3.50-3.80 • 
bill, 0.38-0.40; tarsus, 1.05-1.10; middle toe, 0.70-0.75 ; hind claw, 0.50- 
0.55. Adult female: —Similar in plumage to the male, but the deej) black 
replaced by dull brownish-black ; white spots on the tail-feathers more 
restricted. Wing, 2.90-2.95 ; tail, 3.25-3.65 ; bill, 0.35-0.40; tarsus, 1.00- 
1.05 ; middle toe, 0.60-0.05; hind claw, 0.50-0.55. 
Remarhs .—The feathers of the 
gular region 
are ash-gray or light 
idumbeous at their roots; there is no indication of white on the side of 
the forehead nor on the base of the primaries; the feathers between the 
rufous of the sides and the white below it have longitudinal black 
spots in every specimen. 
This race is somewhat intermediate between P. oregonus and P. carmani., 
but seems to be most like the latter. The sexes are more nearly alike 
than in any other of the races of P. macnlatus, the female being as dark 
as, if not darker than, that of P. megalonyx^ while the male is decidedly 
less intensely black than in that form and P. 07'egonus. Compared with 
a specimen from the vicinity of San Francisco, California, the adult 
males of this series agree quite nearly in size, and the extent of the 
white patches on the tail-feathers ; but they differ in being dull-, instead 
of intense coal-black, in having the white streaks on the outer interscap¬ 
ulars very small, and in the much longer hind claw.
