AI. 82-76, caud. 71-66 mm. 



Habitat : Tucuman : Deep woods of the lower mountains, 

 feeds on berries (Schulz), Tafé Viejo (800 metres), La 

 Hoyada (1300 to 1500 metres) (Lillo leg.), Criolla, 800 to ■ 

 1500 metres (A. Baer leg.). 



I have in my collection an adult specimen of this species 

 which was found in a lot of trade-skins composed of skins 

 from Sta. Lucia, Trinidad, Orinoco, etc. It is of the same 

 make as a Dendroica delicata known only from the island of 

 Santa Lucia, W.I. I am quite at a loss to explain this 

 curious fact.
