black; back of a dull grayish or smoky black ; rump dull greenish- 
yellow ; a very conspicuous white superciliary stripe runs from the 
bill to the hind neck; tail black, the first two lateral feathers have a

Length (fresh), 44 in. ; wings, 2}; tail, 148,; tarsus, 8. Two speci- 
mens are in the collection; one, marked @, has the plumage greatly 
soiled; the other is marked as a 9 with a?; this I have taken for 
the type, the plumage being in a much better condition.

Remarks. This, in appearance, comes nearest to C. Portoricen- 
sts, but differs in the superciliary stripe being wider and extending 
farther back, in the throat being many shades darker in color, in 
having the flanks of a darker olive, and the yellow on the rump 
darker and duller. The color of the breast and rump in C. Portori- 
censzs is of a deeper yellow. 
17. Leucopeza Bishopi. 
Mate. The general plumage is smoky-black, rather darker on the 
head ; the sides are blackish cineréous ; a circle of pure white sur- 
rounds the eye; a large roundish spot on the middle of the throat, 
the upper part of the breast, and the middle of the abdomen, are 
dull white, somewhat mixed with blackish on the throat and with 
cinereous on the abdomen; a very small spot on the chin, and the 
tips of the feathers on the upper part of the throat, are dull white ; 
the black on the upper part of the breast has the appearance of a 
broad band, separating the white of the throat from that of the lower 
part of the breast ; the under tail-coverts are cinereous-black at base, 
ending largely with dull white; wings and tail black, the outer two 
tail-feathers have a small white spot, triangular in shape, on their 
inner webs at the end; bill black; tarsi and toes very pale yel- 
lowish-brown, perhaps much lighter colored in the living bird, nails 
also pale.
