Specimens from United States generally from Atlantic to Missouri 

 valley ; also from — 



Dendroica pityopliila. 



Sylvicold pitt/ophila, Gpndlach, Ann. N. Y. Lye. Oct. 18.'5, 160 (Cuba). 

 — Rhima/iphus piti/ojihiius, Guxdl. Cab. Jour. 1857,2-40. 



Hab, Cuba only. 



Above, including sides of bead and neck, uniform plumbeous gray ; tbe 

 forebead, vertex, and loral region olive green. Chin and fore neck bright 

 yellow, extending on the middle of jugulum, and bordered by black streaks 

 towards lower part of neck, most conspicuous on sides of breast. ' Beneath 

 dull white, the insides of wings more ashy, the flanks something like the 

 back. Two dull ashy white bands across the wing coverts ; the quill- and 

 tail feathers edged with paler ash than the ground color. Lateral tail feather 

 with a whitish patch on the inner web, running forward to a point along the 

 shaft, including the whole web at the end ; second feather with a more re- 

 stricted patch of the same. 



Length, 4.50; wing, 2.30; tail, 2.20; culmen, .45; bill from gape, .55; 

 tarsus, .66. 



This species in general appearance somewhat resembles D. siiper- 

 ciliosa. The black streaks, however, of the sides of jugulum are 

 not continued along the flanks ; the forehead and vertex, with lores, 

 are olive green, not black and plumbeous, and there is no indication 

 whatever of the black and white markings of the side of the head. 

 There is also some similarity to D. pin us ; but the plumbeous back 

 and cheeks (not olive green), and the whitish under parts, except on 

 throat (not greenish-yellow), will readily distinguish them.
