94 BANGS — A RACE OF DENDROICA VIRENS. Vol. VI 
Central America, some fifty in number, and all are referable to 
the Northern true D. virens. 
Mr. Wayne tells me that, if the old-growth forest is cut in one 
of the tracts inhabited by the South Carolina black-throated 
green wood warbler, it at once disappears entirely from that 
place. 
Dendroica virens waynei subsp. nov. 
Type, from near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, ¢ adult, no. 81,495, 
coll. Museum of Comparative Zoélogy, collected April 25, 1918, by Arthur 
T. Wayne. (Original no. 6645, coll. A. T. Wayne.) 
Characters. — Similar to true Dendroica virens (Gmel.) but duller in 
general coloration, the black throat patch rather more restricted, especially 
on sides of breast and chest; breast and belly whiter — much less suffused 
with yellowish; upper parts duller, less yellowish olive-green; wing bands 
slightly duller whitish and slightly narrower; sides of head paler yellow. 
Size about the same; bill very small (measurements of a bill so small do 
not convey the same impression that an actual comparison of specimens 
does. The bill of the new form when compared with that of D. virens 
virens appears not more than two thirds as large). 
Measurements. — Seven males: wing, 61-65 (62.5); tail-feathers, 45-47 
(46.0); tarsus, 17-18 (17.5); culmen, 8.5-9.0 (8.8) mm.
