 with white, the latter with abroad white band near its base, which though reduced in 

 the young is diagnostic of all plumages - . Rump yellow. Below yellow, lower belly 

 White. The adult male has the head and back gray, black patches on face, back, 

 and upper tail coverts, and upper and lower parts heavily marked with black, and a 

 large white patch on the wing. The female has those colors somewhat reduced, and 

 the young have little white on the wing, are greenish above with yellow rump and 

 grayish head, and have scarcely a trace of the black markings. above or below. 



Cape May Warbler. Crown black in the adult male, dusky grayish in lemale 

 and young. Back oliv;-green marked with black in the adult male, in females and 

 young becoming grayer and losing the marking. Rump yellow in the adult male, 

 greener and duller in females and young. Tail marked wi(h white in adult male 

 which is much reduced in females and young. Wing with a large white patch in 

 adult male, with obscure whitish edgings in female and young. A chestnut area in- 

 cluding the eye and ear-coverts on the side of the head in the adult male, obscure 

 grayish in females and young The adult male has rich yellow undeiparts which 

 color borders the chestnut on the side of the face in front running up in a narrow 

 toneue over the eye, and extends in a broad cross area behind the chestnut almost to 

 the nape. Females have the yellow of the male dull yellowish, fading posteriorly, 

 and much restricted on the posterior side of the head, the young have it dull grayish, 

 tinged with yellow. A narrow obscure streak from the bill through and behind the 

 eve in all plumages Underparts with prolonged black striping converging forward and 

 with a tendency to run further forward in the center than at the sides of thethirat, a 

 slight character which, however, gives a rather diagnostic appearance. 3 The striping 

 is grayer and reduced in females and young. The one or two females of this species 

 which the wrirer has observed in the fH<1 have been readily determinable from the 

 resemblance in character of their markinss to those ol the male, though in color and 

 intensity of markinss thev were quite different.

 and greener.

 markings. A large black blotch through the eye. Heavy black streaking of the 

 under parts coalescing to form black areas bordering the yellow on the sides of the 

 breast. In the females and particularly in the young the black and gray are much 

 replaced by diffuse brownish. The streaking of the underparts is much reduced and 

 weaker. In all plumages the streaking ceases abruptly, leaving an immaculate 

 throat, a while or whitish bib appearance quite diagnostic of the species though not 

 tangible to describe Young fall birds have the vellow much reduced in intensity, 

 but the vellow rump is a persistent diagnostic mark displayed when the bird is in 

 flight.
