VIREO. 369 
This species is closely related to V. gundlachi in size, form, and 
general appearance; but differs in the much stouter, darker bill, 
larger legs; the wings longer than the tail, instead of shorter; the 
second quill equal to secondaries, instead of much shorter. The 
olive of back is grayish, not plumbeous; the under parts duller yel- 
low, and the two conspicuous wing bands and broad edging of inner 
secondaries are reduced to a minimum. The much brighter olive 
green edging of quills and tail-feathers are inconspicuous in 
gundlachi. 
In color of bill and general appearance of upper parts and fore: 
head there is quite a resemblance to V. noveboracensis ; the larger 
bill and prevailing yellow of under parts readily distinguish it. It 
also in color is somewhat like V. modestus; but the bill is very 
much larger, the upper parts duller olive, the frontal yellow 
brighter, ete.
