shorter. 
Above olive brown, becoming olive green on the rump and edges of quill-

brown. Beneath whitish ; all the feathers with central linear streaks of olive 
brown, narrowest on belly, broadest on crissum (which is tinged with olivace- . 
ous). Inner lining of wings pale fulvous; inner edges of quills whitish.

A specimen in the Philadelphia Academy, although marked female, 
is considerably larger, though apparently not otherwise different. 
That described above was kindly supplied by Prof. Agassiz. 
According to Strickland (Cont. Orn. 1851, 104), Dulus nuchalis, 
of Swainson (2} Centen. 1838, 345), forms a second species, closely 
allied, but with a transverse bar of white on nape. The type (from 
Brazil) is said by him to be in the Cambridge Museum.
