liemarhs. In general appearance this comes nearest to T. 

 soMstaceiceps^ Scl., but has the crown of a lighter shade; is much 

 whiter below, the ashy coloring occupying only a small space 

 on the upper part of the breast ; the yellow markings on the 

 wings are much broader and brighter ; the wings, tarsi and tail 

 are longer ; a very distinguishing character is the white stripe, 

 which runs from over the eye to the nostrils, on each side of 

 the crown, whereas T. sGhistaceiceps has a white spot in front 

 of the eye, not extending over it.

Remarks. This fly-catcher in coloring most resembles E. 

 placens, Scl., but is much smaller, with the upper plumage of a 

 darker shade ; the wings and tail each measure half an inch 

 less than those of that species ; the top of the head is dairker 

 and the crest much paler ; by these differences it is easily dis- 

 tinguished.
