"The autumnal male has the lihuk of llimat and breast obscured 

 by whitish tips. Females are yellowish white beneath, tuigetl with 

 grayish towards the fail." (Hist X. Am. B.) 



"Fiml liluiiiage. Male. KemlKesand reetriees as in adult; greater and median wiug- 

 oovorts just tipped with soiled white. forminK two very narrow, indistinet winK-bands. 

 Best of upper parts dark slaty-brown, each feather of the back cdced with bright creen-

 lary line, and chin, bright yellow. Sides of head dark slate; under parts soiled white, 

 each featlier on the breast and sides with a terminal spot of black; on the throat and 

 juguhim. these spots become large blotches of dark slate, the feathers being just tipped 

 and edgi'd with light yellow. (From a specimen in my collection shot at C'ambriilge. 

 Mass. July IW.IXT.I.) Like most of the previously described young Warblers, this bird hu» 

 a narrow central line of yellow feathers extending down the throat and jugulum to the 

 breast." (Bbewsteb. Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club. Apr. 1878.57.) 



Little need be said of this bu-d further than that it is one of the 

 army of migrants passing hurriedly through in spring to its breed- 

 ing grounds in the northern coniferous forests and in fall on the 

 way to its tropical winter home. It is a beautiful bird, one of the 

 most elegant of its family, and is at times extremely abundant.
