(No. 10,211.) Above olive-green, rather brighter on the rump; beneath, 
including lining of wings, bright golden yellow. Entire head all round, with 
broad streaks on the breast and sides, orange-brown. Wings nearly black, the 
larger coverts, first primary, alula, and inner secondaries broadly edged with ~ 
greenish-yellow ; the other quills with olivaceous like the back; the insides 
of the quills broadly and sharply margined obliquely with yellow, which 
reaches the shaft on the inner secondaries, and in all the quills except the 
long primaries, is continued entirely around so as to join the exterior margin- 
ing. Exposed surface of the tail feathers (including their outer webs) dark 
greenish-brown, edged externally with the color of the back, the outer feather 
alone having the outer web yellow, with a dark shaft streak from near the 
base. The inner webs of the Ist, 2d, and 3d feathers entirely yellow, except 
at the end; the 4th and 5th with more and more dusky along the shaft; the 
6th with narrow margin only of yellow. Bill dark horn color. Legs pale. 
The colors of the female are much duller; the head only tinged with brown, 
especially along the centres of the feathers, and the streaks on the body be- 
neath, indistinct. The inner webs of the tail feathers show much more brown 
on them. 
The wings, in this species, are broad and rounded, as in petechia. The 3d 
quill is longest ; the 4th and then the 2d a little shorter; the Ist about inter- 
mediate between the 2d and 5th, not shorter than the 5th. The tail is con- 
siderably rounded. In five specimens the formula is 3. 4. 2.1.5.6; in one, 
3.2.4.1.5.6. The difference between the lst and 3d quills is about .19. 
Total length, 5.00; wing, 2.75; tail, 2.30; width of outer feather, .35; 
difference between Ist and 3d quills, .13; length of bill along culmen, .50, 
from nostril, .35, along gape, .63; tarsus, .81; middle toe and claw, .62; hind 
toe and claw, .50. 
This species, in the broad rounded wings, short first primary, and 
wide quill- and tail feathers agrees with petechia much more than 
with exstiva, although it is even larger, and the wings proportionally 
longer (including Ist quill) than petechia. The Ist quill, too, is
