This species appears to resemble petechia in coloration, but to differ in fewer 

 and less distinct stripes beneath, in the gray of the head, and lightness of the 

 abdomen. There is no mention made of the proportions of the quills.

 Hab. Jamaica (Crab Pond, Jan. 24). 



" Male. Upper parts olive, approaching to yellow on the rump ; sides of 

 head marked with a band of orange, extending from the ear to the beak, and 

 meeting both on the forehead and on the chin. Wing quills and coverts 

 blackish, with yellowish edges. Tail blackish-olive, with yellow edges ; the 

 outermost two feathers on each side have the greatest portion of the inner 

 webs pale yellow. Under parts pale yellow. The crown, rump, tertials. 

 belly, and under tail coverts sparsely marked with undefined spots of pale 

 orange." 



" Female. Nearly as in the male, but the deep orange is spread over the 

 whole cheeks, chin, throat, and breast. The head and back are dusky gray, 

 tinged with olive, and patched witli the fulvous much more largely, but irregu- 

 larly, as if laid upon the darker hue. 



" Length, 5 inches ; expanse, 7.60 ; wing, 2.70 ; tail, 1.90 ; rictus nearly .60; 

 tarsus, .90; middle toe, .50. Irids dark hazel; feet horn-color; beak pale 

 horn; culmen and tip darker." 



The preceding description, copied from Gosse, relates to a .Jamaica Warbler, 

 unknown, excepting from the preceding account, but evidently having a close 

 relationship to tlie Golden Warblers. It appears to have the head all round 

 orange (brown ?), as also perhaps the rump and tertials ; and to be marked 

 (streaked ?) with the same beneath, including the crissum. The inner webs 

 of the tail feathers are yellow, as in the Golden Warblers.
