4. M. stolidus Colors essentially nearly as the varieties of M. crinitus. 

 Primaries more or less distinctly edged with rufous, especially on inner

var. stolidus.^ 

 B. Bill much depressed, its depth only about half its width, in the middle 

 portion ; lateral outlines widely divergent basally ; terminal hook weak. 

 (Myiarchus.) 



5. M. tristis. Colors very variable, and amount of rufous exceedingly 

 different in the different races. Inner webs of rectrices seldom edged with
