"216 REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. [PART I, 
sulphur yellow tinge beneath, and ochry superciliary stripe, as well 
as in other characters, with autumnal Carlisle specimens, while others 
are much paler. Generally in spring the belly is paler in color, and 
the streaks better defined, the eye stripe purer; in autumn more 
sulphuraceous ; while later in the winter the colors appear to become 
paler and more like the spring plumage. 
Skins from Guatemala, and one labelled as from Brazil, have the 
concealed median yellowish patch at the base of the forehead rather 
more distinct than in North American ones; the under parts, espe- 
cially the crissum, with the superciliary stripe, paler, nearly white, 
and the streaks apparently encroaching less on the belly. These 
characters, however, are matched separately in North. American 
skins, and may be merely a peculiarity of winter dress. 
A very young bird (22,619), from the north, has the feathers of 
upper parts, including wing coverts, distinctly tipped with brownish- 
yellow ; the sub-terminal portion very dark. In a still older speci- 
men, the only difference from the adult is in the presence of dusky 
spots on the back, with scattered specks of yellowish. 
No North American bird exceeds the present in the extent of its 
range: from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to New Grenada and 
Brazil to the south. 
Specimens from many localities throughout the whole United 
States from the Atlantic coast to the Missouri River, and north 
almost to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Those from points west 
of this, and from regions beyond the limits of the United States, 
are as follow :—
