Adult (type of P. macronyx). General colour above dusky olive- 

 green, uniform on the lower back, rump, and upper tail-coverts, 

 which have somewhat of an ashy shade ; the upper back and 

 mantle streaked with black centres to the feathers, which have also 

 a broad lateral streak of yellowish white towards the end of the 

 outer web ; lesser wing-coverts blackish, washed with olive-yellow, 

 and with round mesial spots of yellowish white ; median and greater 

 coverts black, washed with olive-yellow and tipped with yellowish 

 white ; bastard-wing and primary-coverts blackish, fringed with 

 olive-yellow ; quills dusky brown, externally olive-yellow, the inner 

 secondaries with a longitudinal mark of yellowish white near the 

 end of the outer web, thus resembling the greater coverts ; tail- 

 feathers dusky brown, externally washed with olive-yellow, the 

 three outer ones with a white mark on the inner web, increasing in 

 extent towards the outermost, which is yellowish white along the 

 outer web also ; crown of head, nape, and hind neck black, with a 



* Swainson appears to have confounded two perfectly distinct species under 

 the heading of Pipilo macronyx. I differ from Messrs. Salvin and Godman in 

 considering that the specimens with yellow streaks on the back are of the same 

 species as the plain green-backed ones ; and as Swainson evidently included both 

 forms under his P. macronyx, I have attached his name to the yellow-streaked 

 form, and have restricted Hartlaub's name of P. virescens to the plain-backed 

 bird. It is quite probable that the two species will be found to merge one into 

 the other, but I have seen no evidence of it at present.
