THE WOOD WARBLERS. 



Slender-billed or flat-billed " nine-primaried" acutiplantar Oscines., 

 with neither the tertials nor hind claw elongated^ nor the tongue 

 deeply cleft nor laciniate at tip.^ 



Bill usually slender-conoidal, sometimes rather stout, rarely short- 

 subulate; if slender-cuneate with acute tip, not strongly, if at all, 

 decurved terminally, and tail not longer than distance from bend of 

 wing to tips of secondaries;' if depressed, with triangular vertical 

 profile, the rictal bristles strongly developed (reaching more than 

 halfway to tip of bill), and tail rounded; if comparatively stout, 

 decidedly compressed with culmen decidedly convex, the tip of maxilla 

 not uncinate and without distinct subterminal tomial notch.' Tongue 

 moderately slender, with tip but slightly bifid or fimbriate. Skull 

 with interpalatine process well developed; trans-palatine process short, 

 bluntly angular; palatines not produced backward over pterygoids.'*

^To exclude CcKrebidse. 



'This last character to exclude species of Conirostrum, usually referred to the 

 Coerebidse, but not improbably belonging to the Mniotiltidse. (See under Coerebidse, 

 on page 377. ) 



*To exclude the "nine-primaried" Vireonidae.
