 clad in forest green v^^ith a tiny crown spot of yellow. From head 

 to tail he measured less than three inches, and of all the marvels 

 "which we have encountered in our travels the most remarkable 

 was how such a tiny creature, considerably smaller than our Ruby- 

 crowned Kinglet, could produce such a tremendous volume of 

 sound. His chuckle-de-dee ! can easily be heard a hundred yards 

 away through dense forest. 



" We discovered the nest of one of these birds a short distance 

 from the mine clearing in a sapling about seven feet from the 

 ground, a very frail affair sus[)ended in the fork of a branch. It 

 was merely a thin cup of fine bush-threads and rootlets, while 

 two or three small leaves were fastened to the bottom with strands 

 of cobweb. One could see through it anywhere. It was only 

 1| inches across and | of an inch deep."
