The northern yellow form of the Sturnellince is extended over a 

 wide area, embracing the whole of North America with the exception 

 of the Arctic Region, Cuba, and Central America, as also the grassy 

 llanos of Colombia, Venezuela, and Guiana. It varies much accord- 

 ing to locality in size and in minor particulars of colour, but seems 

 to present only oiie specific type.
