 Parus lugubris Temminck. ) 



Phaeopharus Madaeasz, Magyar. Mad., 1900, 139. (Type, Parus paluslris Lin- 

 naeus. ) 



Similar to Bseolophy,s but without crest, the bill more slender, and 

 general form less stout; throat always black (at least in part) or deep 

 sooty brown; pileum and hindneck always uniform black or brown. 



Oolm'ation. — Above plain gray or brown (one species deep rusty or 

 chestnut) with the pileum and hindneck uniform black or brown, the 

 larger wing- feathers, especially the tertials, sometimes conspicuously 

 edged with whitish; beneath white medially, becoming more or less 

 buify, grayish, brown or chestnut on sides and flanks, the throat 

 always black (at least in part) or sooty brown. 



oThe locality where the type was actually taken is extremely doubtful, but almost 

 certainly was not any part of the Rio Grande Valley or Texas. I have examined 

 the original specimen and find it to represent' the northern form.
