218 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol 86 



Breeding birds are almost imperceptibly darker in color above 

 when compared with birds from tlie north, but they do not seem to 

 differ sufficiently to warrant separation. 



Regulus satrapa and its races differ from RegvJus regulus and its 

 forms of the Old World definitely and strikingly in the well-marked 

 white superciliary line of the former. The only approach in the 

 Palearctic group to this character is found in Regulus regulm japoni- 

 cus. in which the whole side of the head is lighter but in which there 

 is no definite superciliary stripe. In fact, to my eye satrapa resembles 

 Regulus ignicapiUus as much as it does R. regulm. I may add that 

 the song of the goldcrest {Regulus r. regulus), familiar to me in the 

 field from work in the Sierra Cantabrica of northern Spain, is quite 

 distinct in form and phrase from that of our golden-crown. I can 

 see no basis for the action of Hartert,"* Hellmayr,*"' and others in 

 listing the North American satrapa as a geographic race of regulus. 

 In my opinion the two should be treated in our Check-list as distinct.
