The adult female sent by Dr. Abbott agrees in general with Dr. 

 Sharpe's description, ' but has the crown and nape suffused with olive 

 yellow, as is said to be the case in B. citreola. The specimen is in worn 

 breeding plumage and will not admit of a satisfactory description. 



The two immature females appear to be somewhat similar to males of 

 the same age, but lack the streak of black on each side of the crown, 

 and the black malar striije and spots on lower throat are absent; the 

 middle and greater wing-coverts are narrowly edged and broadly tipped 

 with white: the secondaries and tertiaries are edged with grayish white; 

 lores, broad superciliary line, and entire under x>firts whitish, with a 

 very faint yellow tinge in i)laces; axillaries and under wing-coverts 

 dusky white. In one of the specimens, collected July 18, a feather on 

 the breast is white on one web and yellow on the opposite one. It 

 would appear from this that the yellow of the adult plumage is, to 

 some extent at least, assumed by a change of color in the feathers,
