Though averaging of greater length, in proportions this bird averages smaller than swainsoni, and some specimens are much smaller than any I have seen of the latter species. The wide difference from true aliciæ here implied may be illustrated by the following extreme measurements given by the birds of my series:—
aliciæ, length, 8.00; extent, 13.12; wing, 4.35; tail, 3.40.
bicknelli, „ 6.55; „ 10.56; „ 3.40; „ 2.60.
