CARDELLINA, Dcbds. 



Cardellina, Dubus. (See page 236.) 



Cardellina, " Ddbus,'' Bon. Consp. 1850, 312. (Type Cardellina amicta, 

 Ddbus= Muscicap I ruhrifrons, Giraud.) 



Bill Parine in appeararxie, much shorter than hea'', high at base, and the 

 culmen considerably decurved throughout ; the commissure curved and some- 

 what angulated in the middle. Bictal bristles stiff, but not very long, hardly 

 reaching half way from the nostrils to tip of bill, which exhibits scarcely any 

 trace of notch. Wings long and pointed ; the 2d, 3d, and 4th quills nearly 

 equal and longest ; the 1st a little longer than the 5th. The tail is shorter 

 than the wings, nearly even, a very little lounded. Feet small ; ta'si short, 

 the 8cutel!ar divisions indistinct externally ; the middle toe without claw 

 little more than half the tarsus. 



This form agrees ve' • c/jsely in the cliaracters of wing and tail 

 vith Myiodioctes milratua. The legs, however, are shorter, and the 

 bill very differently sliaped, more like that of a Titmouse.
