the eyes white. “A broad gamboge yellow stripe from bill, above and beyond 
the eye; a black band from commissure of bill across lower half and behind 
the eye (apparently widening and abruptly truncated behind), and a much 
less conspicuous black line from lower corner of the gonys, the two nearly 
parallel, and coextensive with the superciliary yellow (the lower one cutting 
off an infra-ocular white stripe). A well defined band of rufous brown across 
the breast, the sides of body suffused with the same. Primaries edged ex- 
ternally with whitish near the ends. Quills edged internally with yellowish. 
Crissum and inner wing coverts white. Bill black; legs yellow. : 
(No. 447.) Total length, 6.00; wing, 2.85; tail, 3.00; exposed portion of 
1st primary 1.00, of 2d, 1.80, of longest (5th) (measured from exposed base 
of 1st primary), 2.22; length of bill from forehead, .85, from nostril, .45, along 
gape, .90; tarsus, .95; hind toe and claw, .60, claw alone, .30. 
The upper part of head is slightly glossed with olive. The bases 
of the yellow feathers in front of the eye are white. The lower 
half of the orbital region is crossed by the black ocular stripe, the 
upper by the yellow. The ocular yellow and black stripes extend 
as far behind the eye as in front of it. .
