Culmeu forming a curve of nearly one-lialf the circumference of a cir¬ 
cle ; horizontal diameter of the upper mandible scarcely greater through 
the tomia than near the culmeu. Wing, 9.70-10.50; tail, 7.50-8.00 ; cul- 
men, 1.50; tarsus, 1.15-1.25; middle toe, 1.05-1.10. Fifth quill longest; 
first about equal to the tenth. Adult: —Above, including nape and head 
all round, bluish-slate, paler and more bluish-ashy on cephalic portions; 
primaries darker. Tail black, crossed by four light bands, the two 
anterior ones white, the others light ash-gray, the subterminal one much 
the widest, the terminal one about equal to the others. Beneath white, 
barred everywhere, except on the crissum, with pale gray anteriorly and 
umber posteriorly, these bars nearly as wide as the white interspaces, 
Crissum with the longer feathers narrowly and distantly barred. Under 
surface of the primaries plain white, anterior to their siuuation the 
terminal portion ashy, with about three distant bands, those on the 
white being dilute rufous, and those on the gray blackish. Young: —(I.) 
Above umber, more or less tinged with ferruginous on the wings, the 
inner primaries being mostly of this color. Tail brownish-gray, crossed 
by three distant bauds of blackish, these broader and more distinct 
terminally, the tip being quite broadly and regularly of the ground-color. 
Near the base are two to three more or less distinct narrow and inter¬ 
rupted bands of white. Lower parts, including a collar round the nape, 
white, the whole surface broadly (more narrowly on the neck, all round, 
and on the lining of the wing) barred with ferruginous. II. (very young ):— 
Above brownish-gray, the feathers bordered terminally with pale rusty; 
remiges indistinctly banded with darker. Tail ash-gray, becoming grad¬ 
ually white at the extreme base, narrowly tipped with the same, and 
crossed by six narrow bands of dull black. Head plain pale ashy, 
becoming gradually white on the throat. Beneath white, distinctly 
barred, except on the crissum, with narrow lunules of brown.
