BIRDS—-TURDIDAE—-REGULUS SATRAPA. 227 
Sp. Cu.—Above dark greenish olive, passing into bright olive green on the rump and outer edges of the wings and tail: 
Crown with a large concealed patch of scarlet feathers, which are white at the base. The under parts are grayish white tinged 
with pale olive yellow, especially behind. A ring round the eye, two bands on the wing coverts, and the exterior of the inner 
tertials white. Young without the red on the crown. Length, 4.50; wing, 2.33; tail, 1.85. 
Hab.—United States from Atlantic to Pacific. 
The female differs very little in color, It is quite probable that the species does not attain 
the red patch in the crown until the second year, as the spring migrations of the species always 
embrace a considerable number with the head perfectly plain. 
The autumnal plumage differs from the vernal in a lighter olive tinge to the feathers of the 
back, while the under parts are of a pale brownish yellow, brightest on the belly. 
There is a concealed yellowish bar across the quills immediately beneath the tips of the 
greater coverts, succeeded by an exposed bar of blackish, more or less conspicuous in different 
specimens. There is also some concealed white on the feathers of the rump. 
I am unable to perceive any tangible difference between eastern and western specimens, 
List of specimens.
