188.'>, 2. 

 Vireo magister, Salvix, Ibia, April, 1885, 188 (nee Baird). 



Sp. char. — Agreeing with V. magister, Baird, iu absence of dusky 

 submalar streak and dusky streak ou side of crown, but plumage de- 

 cidedly ashy, instead of brownish olive. (No spurious primary. ) 



Adult (type. No. 102, G5G, XJ. S. Nat. Mus., Cozumel I., Yucatan. Jan- 

 uary 29, 1885). xibove dull ash-gray, the plleum eoncolor witli the dor- 

 sal region, but the lower part of rump and upper tailcoverts, witli edges 

 of rectrices and primaries, decidedly tinged with light olive-green. No 

 trace of dusky streak on sides of pileum. A distinct and rather broad 

 superciliary stripe of dull bufly white, becoming more ashy above the 

 auriculars. A dusky grayish loral stripe, and a similar but less distinct 

 postocular streak. Auriculars light brownish gray, gradually foding to 

 dull whitish beneath the eye and on the tbroat. Lower parts dull 

 white, very faintly tinged with buif, the sides and flanks rather abruptly 

 olive gray. Lining of wing and crissum yellowish white. No spurious 

 primary. Bill dusky, the basal half of mandible whitish (pale bluish 

 in life?); legs i.nd feet plumbeous-dusky (plumbeous-blue in life!). 

 Wing, 3.00; tail, 2.30; culmen, .90; bill from nostril, .45; tarsus, .80^ 

 middle toe, .45. 



This species is closely related only to V. magister, Baird. In colora- 

 lion, however, it bears a close general resemblance to V. gilvus, more so in 

 fact than to any other member of the genus. 



Two specimens in the collection.

— 24. Vireo noveboracensis (Giuel.). Four specimens.
