72 RUBY-THROATED WARBLER. 



throat is much lighter, and in some specimens it is described as being 

 more of a rosy tint. In the East Indian specimen before me, sent by 

 M. Verreaux, the vermilion red is still retained, though lighter, and 

 with a whitish spot in the centre. In my specimen the lore is black, 

 and the vermilion red is surrounded by a bright grey border, be- 

 coming black as it comes in contact with the white line which extends 

 from the base of the mandibles. 



My figure of this bird is a male in breeding plumage, from an 

 Indian specimen sent to me by M. Verreaux. It has also been figured 

 by Gould, in "B. of E."
