(No. 10,211.) Above olive-green, rather brighter on the rnmp ; beneath, 

 including lining of wingn, bright golden yellow. Kntire head all round, with 

 broad streaks on the breast and sides, orange-brown. Wings nearly black, tlio 

 larger coverts, flrst primary, alula, and inner secondaries broadly edged with 

 greenish-yellow; the other quills witli olivaceous like the back; the insided 

 of the quills broadly and sharply margined olditjuely with yellow, which 

 reaches the shaft on the inner secondaries, and in all the qnills exce])t the 

 long primaries, is continued entirely around so as to join the exterior margin- 

 ing. Exposed surface of the tail feathers (including their outer webs) dark 

 greenish-brown, edged exti)rnalty with tlie color of the ba<!k, the outer feather 

 alone having the outer web yellow, with a dark shaft .streak from near the 

 base. The inner webs of the 1st, 2d, and 3d feathers entirely yellow, except 

 at the end ; the 4th and 5th with more and more dnsky along the shaft ; the 

 6th with narrow margin ">nly of yellow. Bill dark born color. Legs pale. 



The colors of the female are much duller ; the head only tinged with brown, 

 especially along the centres of the feathers, and the streaks on the body be- 

 neath, indistinct. The inner webs of the tail feathers show much more browu 

 on tlieni. 



The wings, in this species, are broad and rounded, as in petechia. The 3d 

 qnill is longest; the 4th and then the 2d a little shorter; the 1st about inter- 

 mediate between the 2d and 5th, not shorter than the 5th. The tail is con- 

 siilerably rounded. In Ave specimens the formula is 3. 4. 2. 1.5.^; in one, 

 3. 2. 4. 1. 5. (5. The dilTerenoe between the 1st and 3d quills is about .19. 



Total length, 5.00; wing, 2.75; tail, 2.30; width of outer feather, .35; 

 difference between Ist and 3d quills, .13; length of bill alorg culmen, .51', 

 from nostril, .35, along gape, .63 ; tarsus, .81 ; middle toe and claw, .62 ; hind 

 toe and claw, .50. 



This species, in the broad rounded wings, short first primary, and 

 wide quill- and tail feathers agrees '.'ith petechia inncli more than 

 with sestiva, although it is even larger, and the 'vings proportionally 

 longer (including 1st quill) than jjetevhia. The 1st quill, too, is
