Show 190 white patch, about 0.75- 0.90 wide on the outer feather, the outer web of which is also edged with white. Lower parts white medially, the entire sides deep rufous; crissum 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 ; bind claw, 0.50- 0.55. Adult female;- Similar in plumage to the male, but the deep 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, 1.0C- 1.05; middle toe, 0.60- 0.65; hind claw, 0.50- 0.55. Remarks.- The feathers of the gular region are ash- gray or light plumbeous at their roots; there is no indication of white on the Hide of the forehead nor on the base of the primaries; the feathers between the rufous of the sides and the white below it have lougitudiua) black spots in every specimen. This race is somewhat intermediate between P. oregonus and P. carmani, but seems to be most like the latter. Tbe sexes are more nearly alike than in any other of the races of P. macula tw, the female being as dark a8, if not darker than, that of P. megalonyx, while the male is decidedly less intensely black than in that form ami P. oregonus. Compared with a specimen from, the vicinity of Sau Francisco, California, the adalt males of this series agree quite nearly in size, and the extent of tbe white patches on the tail- feathers ; but they differ in being dull-, instead of intense coal- black* in having the white streaks on tbe outer interscapulars very small, and in the much longer hind claw.
