extreme angle of chin, and small patch on side of lower jaw white ; loral region, 
and cheeks below eye black. Edge of wing, and patch at base of quills whitish, 
as seen on inner face of wing; externally this patch is ashy, followed by the 
usual blackish bar, and the ashy one beyond that. Lateral tail feather whitish, 
except base and outer web at end; the next feather with a long patch at end 
of inner web, and the tip white; remaining feathers blackish, the central

(No. 30,285, 5.) Total length, 7.70; wing, 3.55; tail, 4.20; graduation, .60; 
emargination, .15; difference between 10th and longest quills, .80; exposed

posed base of Ist primary), 2.80; length of bill from forehead, .56, from

.24; hind toe and claw, .55, claw alone, .25. 
In No. 38,044 the first quill is much longer (nearly one-half ,the 
third), and much attenuated at end; the second quill also unusually 
attenuated. (See figure. ) ‘ 
This species has, by later authors, been identified as the Musct- 
capa armillata of Vieillot, although erroneously. Vieillot’s species 
is given in Ois. Am. Sept. as inhabiting “the Antilles,” but in 
Encyclop. Méthodique he assigns it to Martinique. TH® white of 
chin and side of jaws, the rufous belly, the yellow.of legs and the 
brown feet, with a length of 6,3, inches, as given by Vieillot, are 
not to be found in the Jamaican bird. As far as I can determine 
it has never been named, and I apply to it the name of solitarius, 
from the account by Gosse of its habits.
