Young birds of any color wereto be had almost throughout the year, so that, all things con-sidered, the material available was almost ideal for an inves-tigation of this sort. The methods used by Strong (02) were found to be gener-ally satisfactory and were essentially follow^ed. Portions ofwhole feathers were cleared in chloroform and mounted in gumdammar. The most instructive preparations for a study ofpigmentation in the adult feather were -made by shearing thebarbules from the barb with a fine scissors, cutting parallel 458 ORREN LLOYD-JONES.
