BIRDS—SYLVICOLIDAE— OPORCRNIS FORMOSUS. 247 
the ash of the throat is so strongly tinged with brownish (with perhaps a tinge of olive) as to 
obscure the ash. The crown also is like the back. 
The Zrichas tephrocotis of Nuttall appears to be only an adult in very full plumage, with the 
entire head above clear bluish ash, (as just referred to in No, 2939,) instead of glossed with 
olivaceous, as in most specimens.
