(No. 13,508.) Upper parts grayish-olive, the edges of quills and tail- 
feathers brighter olive green. Beneath pale yellowish, soiled slightly with 
ashy; brightest on

Vireo crassirostris, BayANT. (Bahamas.) . broad outer edges 
of inner secondaries 
yellowish-white. A yellow band from nostril (meeting its fellow) to the eye, 
and a narrow yellow ring around it. Bill dark plumbeous horn color, lighter 
along edges. Feet dark plumbeous. 
Wings longer than the tail (2.40 to 2.10). The 1st or spurious primazy 
more than half the length of the 2d, which is shorter than the 9th primary, 
and about equal to the secondaries (not shorter, as in V. gundlachi) ; the 4th, 
5th, and 6th quills are longest, their tips reaching about .30 beyond the 
secondaries. Tail slightly rounded, the feathers narrow and pointed. The 
tarsi are long and stout (.85 of an inch), and measure one and a half times 
as much as the middle toe and claw. The bill is unusually stout and large, 
and the feet well developed. 
(No. 13,508.) Total length, 4.55 ; wing, 2.40; tail, 2.15; difference between 
10th quill and longest, .30; exposed portion of Ist primary, .77, of 2d, 1.33, 
of longest, 4th and 5th (measured from exposed base of Ist primary), 1.66; 
length of bill from forehead, .58, from nostril, .35, along gape, .70; depth, .19; 
tarsus, .85 ; middle toe and claw, .54, claw alone, .20; hind toe and claw, .50, 
claw alone, .24. 
In some specimens the yellow of the forehead is much obscured. 
The anterior corner of the eye is dusky. The cheeks are tinged 
with olive green. The yellow of under parts is not uniform and con- 
tinuous. The type of the species is not so bright in its colors as 
specimens received subsequently from Nassau.
