“(Confer Capr. nuttalli, Aud. Am. Orn., 2d edit., t. 495,) ex
California, Vix Turdi magnitudine. Mas. Griseus, nucha fulvescenti,
abdomine cervino, nigro undulato; gula macula utrinque alba nigro
terminata: remigibus fuscis, macula mediana alba, rectricibus
lateralibus nigricantibus, extima late ad apicem candida.”
The characters here given differ so essentially from those of any other
species of _Antrostomus_, that we much suspect that the bird alluded to
neither belongs to this genus, nor is an American species.
