262 REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. [PART I. 
yellow. Vertex with the feathers considerably elongated, and orange brown, 
margined all round with black. Quills and tail feathers black, not appreciably 
margined. Outer tail feather with all the exposed portion white ; less of this 
color on the second, with a margin of black on the outer web near the end; 
third feather with a small stripe of white in the end. Tibia greenish plum- 
beous. 
In one specimen the forehead only (except the narrow line at base of bill) 
is black, and the black line above the superciliary yellow is quite narrow ; in 
another, the decumbent brown crest is mainly on the sinciput, the black 
anterior and lateral to it being in considerably less extent. An immature speci- 
men, not fully fledged, probably of this species, lacks the spot on the vertex ; 
the whole jugulum is dusky,, this color extending forward along the throat to 
the bill; the lores and a crescentic patch beneath the eye are dusky. 
Length, 5.50; wing, 2.75; tail, 2.85; bill from gape, .56; tarsus, .80. 
The clear yellow face without any dusky marks, and the yellow 
under parts crossed by a dusky pectoral collar, appear to distinguish 
this species from all its congeners.

Bill much depressed, and lengthened; from forehead as long as the head, 
the lateral outline rather concave near the end. Rictal bristles reaching half 
way from nostrils to tip of bill. Culmen and commissure gently curved. Tail 
rounded, and a little longer than the wings, the feathers moderately broad. 
Wings rounded; Ist quill about equal to the 6th; 3d and 4th longest. Pro- 
portions of feet about as in the rufous crowned Myzoborus. 
This subgenus, besides its relations to Setophaga, has characters 
belonging both to Myioborus and Myiodioctes. The tail feathers 
have the firmness and comparative narrowness of outer web of the 
latter, the feet and rounded wings of the former. The bill is more 
lengthened than in either. 
But a single species of this subgenus is known. It is the largest 
of the Setophageze: yellow beneath, plumbeous above, with two dark 
stripes on the head inclosing a median yellow one.
