184 DENDRCKCA CIIRYSOPAKIA. 



" Above olive-green. Upper tail-coverts ashy, with central black streaks. Feathers 

 of head above black, with olive-green edges. A broad olivaceous black 

 stripe through tlie eye from lores, involving the cars, in which is a yellowish 

 crescentic patch below the eye. Black feathers of throat and chin edged 

 with vellow. Jugulum and sides of breast also yellow. Sides streaked 

 with black. No distinct black streaks on crissum townsendi.' 



In conclusion I must ask American ornithologists to join me in thanking 

 Mr. Rowley for enabling me to lay before them an illustration of a very 

 beautiful and interesting member of their fauna, and at the same time so rare 

 that up to now a single individual alone has been detected within the limits 

 of the United States, and only two others elsewhere.
