 Form aberrant. Size of the black-cap warbler. Total length 

 4f inches; bill, in front 2^; wings 2^^; tail, beyond, 1; ditto, 

 base, 2.1 ; tarsus ^ ; hind toe and claw \. This is evidently an 

 aberrant species, having the tip of the upper mandible per- 

 fectly entire, and the tail almost even, without any white at 

 the tips of the lateral feathers : the rufous collar is rather at 

 the base of the throat than upon the breast : the third and 

 fourth quills are equal, and longest ; and the first much shorter 

 than the second : the stripe beneath the eye passes to the ears, 

 and encloses a white spot beneath the eye : the rufous of the 

 collar is extended, on each side, down the sides of the breast and 

 body ; and there is a faint olive tinge on the back. In the 

 two last species, the claws are more curved than in the larger 

 typical species.
