REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. 



[part I. 



Graiiatefiltis francescae. 



GranaleUus francesca, Baird, n. s. 



Above bluisli slate color. Forehead, continuous with a broad stripe above 

 and beyond the eye, as also the sides of the head and neck, black. A tri- 

 angular patch of pure white extending from the postero-superior border of the 

 eye, along the side of the head and continued, though much obscured, across 

 the nape. Under parts, including inside of wings and side of breast, white ; 

 the jugulum and median line of body to and including crissum, carmine red. 

 Wings blackish ; the outer webs more plumbeous, edged with paler, and with 

 two narrow whitish bars across the coverts ; the inner webs abruptly edged 

 with white. Tail black, the outer feather white, except at base ; the black 

 passing farther along the inner web ; the next feather with the black more 

 extended ; the third with the white confined to the tip ; the fourth with a 

 narrow streak of white in the end ; the others all black. Tibise plumbeous. 

 Bill lead color; paler along the tomia and the gonys. Legs blackish. 



Female with the red of under parts restricted to a tinge on the crissum ; 

 the white replaced by soiled pale buff, as also is the black of the head ; middle 

 of belly quite white. Young male like female, but with under parts purer 

 white ; the jugulum and under parts with traces of red. 



Total length, 6.35 ; wing, 2.51 ; tail, 3.40, its graduation, .60; difference of 



lata et corpore subtus albis ; pectore toto, ventre medio et crisso rosaceo- 

 rubris ; alis et cauda nigricanti-fuscis, immaculatis ; rostro plumbeo, tomiis 

 pallesceutibus ; pedibus corylinis. Long. corp. 4.50; alse, 2.00; caudse, 2.00. 



This species was collected, by Dr. Natterer, in Brazil, Sept. 1829, and while 

 most similar to G. venustus, differs in the want of the black pectoral band and 

 of the white tips to the tail feathers, and in the black of top of head. The 

 white throat separates it from sallaei. 



Granatellus sallaei. 



Granatellus sallaei {Setophaga sallaei, " Bp. & ScL.," Bp. Comptes Een- 

 dus, XLII, May, 1856, 957), Sclater, P. Z. S. July 8, 1856, 292, pi. 

 cxx (Cordova) ; 1859, 374, J (Oaxaca) ; 1864, 607.— Sclater & 

 Salvix, Ibis, 1860, 397 (Cajabon, Guat.). 

 Hah. South Mexico to Guatemala. 



G. sallaei differs from I'entistus in having the chin and throat iilumbeous 

 instead of white. The black sides of the head, forehead, and pectoral collar 

 appear to be represented merely by a darker shade of the ground color. The 

 tail lacks the white tips. The plumbeous ground color, the white post-ocular 

 stripe, and the red of the breast, belly, and crissum, with the white sides, are 

 common to both species.
