VIREO.

.75 ; middle toe and claw, .50, claw alone, .16 ; hind toe and claw, .42, claw 

 alone, .21. 



Of the two specimens No. 35,23*7 has the wings perfect, but is 

 apparently immature ; the head has an ochry tinge, not seen in the 

 other, and the eye stripe paler. No. 35,236, which probably best 

 represents the uoi-mal state of coloration, lacks the outer primary 

 on both sides, and exhibits other indications of a condition of 

 moulting. Both agree, however, in many peculiarities, sharply 

 separating the new species from any other in the complete series of 

 Vireonidse before me. I have named it after Mr. Julian Carmiol, 

 who has been so indefatigable in developing the ornithology of 

 Costa Rica.
