Bill very short, and rather slender ; the culmen, however, and commissure 

 curved from the base. Rictal bristles well developed, reaching midway from 

 postril to tip. Wings rather shorter than the nearly even, somewhat rounded 

 tail ; the 3d and 4th quills about equa' ; the Ist a little shorter than the 6lh, 

 Tarsi lengthened ; the middle toe without claw half the tarsus. 



This form diflfera from typical Cardellina in much slenderer, 

 though somewhat similarly shaped bill, greater development of rictal 

 bristles, considerably shorter and more rounded wings, etc. In some 

 respects it resembles the section Jdiotes of Jiasile uterus, but rau) 

 properly be separated.
