grass on or near the ground. The eggs are six 

 in number, white speckled with purplish red on 

 the larger end only, with here and there a 

 single speck on the sides. The Lesser petty- 

 chaps resembles the Yellow Warbler in its 

 plumage, but is inferior in size, and its legs 

 are of a much darker hue; it has also been 

 confounded with the Wood wren, but a striking 

 distinction occurs in the tail coverts, which in 

 the latter are of a pure white, Mobile those of 

 this species are tinged with yellow. Ed.]
