A si)ecinieii from Jamaica {24,'M)\), Spanish Town ; W. T. Alarch), however, is even darker than this one, the stripes beneath lieinj,' almost jiure liku'k ; on the tail l)lack jirevails, although the bands are very regulnr. Nos. 1I7,01, Fort Good Hope, British America, 4;>,1;^>G, Fort Yukon, Alaska, and , Mazatlan, ^, have the streaks lieneath narrow and linear ; the ochra- ceous coufiued to the tibia?, which are of a deejj shade of this Falrn ciilumharius. A specimen from Xicaragua (No. 40,957, Chiiiandega) is like North American examples, but the reddish tinge beneath is scarcely discernible, and confined to the tibia', which are but faintly ochraceous; the markings beneath arc broad and deep umber, the black shaft-streak distinct. In the adult female there is as little variation as in the male in plumage, the shade of brown above varying slightly, also the yellowish tinge beneath ; the bai's on the tail ditt'er in continuity and tint in various specimens, although they are always five in ,— the concealed by the coverts, the last terminal. In 19,.382, Fort Simpson, British America, and 2,7U0, Yukon, If. Am. ([)roiiably very old ), the light bars are contimious and pale dull ashy. The young vary about the same as adults.
