Most other males in the series before me are rather duller than 

 the one described, A specimen from Carhsle, Peun. (Xo, 152, U, S. 

 Nat, Mus., April "26, 1845, S. F. Baird, — presumabl}' a male), differs 

 merely in the more indistinct character of the streaks along the sides, 

 those of the breast being almost obsolete. One of the brightest males 

 in the entire series is a specimen in Mr. Nelson's collection (So. 2,072, 

 Waukegan, 111., April 12, 1876). This, however, is scarcely different 

 from the one described, the only obvious difference being the some- 

 what brighter yellow on the breast, and the greater amount of chest- 

 nut in the streaks of the side of the breast. The palest male is also 

 a Waukegan specimen (No. 2,073, mus. E. W. Nelson, April 28, 

 1870), which has the posterior half of the superciliary stripe white 

 and the whole breast whitish, the pure yellow being thus restricted 

 to the throiit and erissum.
