Vol XVII Howe, New Subspecies of Hylocichila. 271 
1900 
Hylocichla fuscescens fuliginosa, subsp. nov. 
Type, from Codroy, Newfoundland, No. 46260, adult. Coll. of Wil- 
liam Brewster. Collected May 31, 1895, by Ernest Doane. 
Geographical Range.— Newfoundland (also possibly Anticosti and 
Labrador). 
Subspecific Characters.—Size slightly larger. Upper parts, especially 
on the head, distinctly drowz7shk, much darker and not of the tawny shade 
of typical fuscescens, and lacking the greenish tinge of salzctcola. Throat, 
lores, and upper breast suffused with duff, though perhaps less so than in 
Juscescens (in salicicola butt is practically absent), the upper breast and 
usually also the throat spotted heavzly with broad arrow-shaped brown 
markings suggesting very strongly the throat and breast of H/. wu. swain- 
sontt. The breast markings of both /uscescens and salicicola are narrow 
and more penciled and lighter in shade. Bill darker and heavier.' 
Remarks.—The two specimens already recorded from Rhode 
Island, and the ones from Ottawa, Ontario, are referable to this 
race, as is also a male kindly loaned me by Dr. Louis B. Bishop, 
taken at New Haven, Conn., on September 23, 1895. The spec- 
imen recorded from Chester, South Carolina, is probably referable 
to this new race, rather than to sa/cicola. Another specimen sent 
me by Dr. Bishop from the Magdelen Islands, taken June 13, 1887, 
is intermediate between fuscescens and fuliginosa, although diff- 
cult to determine on account of being in worn, breeding plumage. 
Dr. Bishop has also kindly sent me an adult male (No 4116) 
taken May 6, 1899, in New Haven County, Conn., and an adult 
female (No. 4950) taken May 16, 1900, in the same locality, both 
referable to fwl/iginosa, and the first spring specimens from New 
England I have seen.
