162 PASSERES. TURDID^E. 



In the Ornithology of M. Ramon de la Sagra's 

 Cuba, this species is figured, under the name of 

 Bijirita, which, however, appears to be common to 

 the Warblers. " Though migratory, it seems to 

 breed occasionally in the Antilles, for M. de la 

 Sagra has killed in Cuba, young ones, which were 

 doubtless hatched in the island." 



OLIVE WARBLER.* 

 Sylvicola pannosa. MIHI. 



THE bird described below, a sombre exception 

 to a particularly brilliant family, I cannot refer to 

 any species with which I am familiar ; it may, how- 

 ever, be the female of a recorded species. I regret 

 that I did not ascertain the sex of the individual 

 described, the only one that ever fell into my 

 hands. Nor can I give any information concerning 

 it, but that it was shot by Sam, at Basin-spring, on 

 the 8th of October, hopping about low bushes.
