RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. 
Length four inches and a quarter; extent of wings six 
inches; hill one third of an inch; tarsus three fourths 
of an inch. 
The adult female in summer plumage resembles the 
male, but the tints are in general duller, especially 
the greenish yellow of the wings. 
Figured by Audubon and Wilson. 
Since the above Avas in type I have been informed 
by the Rev. H. B. Tristram, that he has a specimen of 
this bird which he had in the flesh, and Avhich Avas 
killed by a Durham pitman in 1852, in Branspeth 
Woods.
