September 25 and 26. Others were secured in fall near the summit 

 of Spruce Knob on September 22, and at elevations of 3,000 to 3,500 

 feet on WiUiams River from October 3 to 8. A male taken June 17 

 in the Cranberry Glades has an irregular patch of white and scattered 

 feathers of the same color in the crown. A. H. Howell collected males 

 at Marshes on July 20, 1909, and at Mabscott on July 24, both in 

 Raleigh County. 



This race differs from the typical form in having the back with more 

 gray, and the green slightly darker, in longer wing on the average, 

 and in somewhat larger bill. Following are measurements from birds 

 taken in West Virginia: 



Eleven males: Wmg, 74.8-80.4; tail, 50.7-56.2; cuhnen from base, 

 12.2-13.4; tarsus, 18.0-19.4 mm. 



Five females: Wing, 74.6-77.9; tail, 52.0-54.5; culmen from base, 

 11.3-12.3; tarsus, 18.0-19.1 mm.
