 Yellow-rumpled Warhler. 



Winter Plumage, Male. — Above, brown, faintly streaked with 

 black ; under parts, yellowish white, streaked with dark brown upon 

 the sides and breast ; rump and crozvn, yellcnu, the latter almost 

 concealed by the brown tips of the feathers; two distinct wing- 

 bands, and spots on the three outer tail-feathers, white. Female, in 

 winter, differs but slightly from the male. 



Length 5.40, wing 2.S0, tail 2.20, tarsus .70, bill .40. 



A rather common visitant. We found them numerous in the 

 vicinity of Nassau, N. P., during the months of December and 

 January, and occasionally observed them on some of the other 

 islands. It is a tame, pretty little species, generally frequenting 

 the heavy growth, and may be easily recognized by the yellow on 

 the rump.
