 bright clear yellow, rather paler behind, and more olive on flanks. A broad

 to the edge), yellow. Lores, continuous with a line through and behind the 

 eye, and a line from side of lower jaw beneath and beyond the eye, blackish-

Total length, 5.00 ; wing, 2.85 ; length of bill from forehead, .73, from nostril,

The yellow superciliary line is broadest anteriorly, but does not 

 cross the base of the culmen ; its posterior feathers are whitish. 

 The post-ocular plumbeous stripe passes into the plumbeous nape. 

 The lower dark stripe is bordered behind by the downward extension 

 of the white infra-ocular band ; anteriorly it does not quite reach 

 the lower mandible, on account of the upward extension of the yel- 

 low of chin. 



The specimen of this species in the museum of the Philadelphia 

 Academy is labelled as from Cayenne. Bonaparte quotes his as 

 from the Rio Negro.
