As stated by Dr. Sclater, this is a perfectly good species, rather 
similar in general appearance to Mniotilla varia, but with the 
feet and bill of Dendroica. The resemblance to D. striata is quite 
close. The specimens before me are not in very good condition, but 
the colors differ from those of Mniotilta varia in having all the 
feathers of the crown black, edged with white, causing a fine streak- 
ing, instead of having the crown black with white median and lateral 
stripe (JZ varia), or entirely black (D. striata). The rump and 
upper tail coverts are unstreaked brownish-olive, not black as in MW. 
varia, nor streaked with black, as in D. striata. The sides of the 
head are streaked or spotted with black ; the streaks are on the front 
of the jugulum as well as the sides. There is no large white patch 
on the inner web of the outer tail feathers as in the two other species 
mentioned, but merely a dirty whitish edging at the ends of the 
same feathers. This last mentioned character will probably dis- 
tinguish it in any stage of plumage. Bill very stout. Length, 4.70; 
wing, 2.55; tail, 2.50.
