 it is a trifle more than four inches in length : its 

 beak is brown : the crown is rufous : the upper 

 parts of the neck and body are olive-green: the 

 wing-coverts and quills are brown, edged with 

 olive-green : the throat, fore-part of the neck, and 

 breast, are yellow, marked with longitudinal ru- 

 fous spots : belly and vent yellow : tail brown, 

 edged with olive ; the two outer feathers yellowish 

 within : legs grey : it has a very agreeable and
