148 WARBLER. 



Both sexes supposed to be alike, as some pairs of them have occa- 

 sionally been met with, which did not differ the one from the other. 

 M. Azara describes a black line from the angle of the mouth, crossing 

 the eye to the ear, another broader of white, parallel to the hind- 

 head ; under parts glossy white, tinged with rufous. 



The Sharp-tailed Warbler has the end of the tail feathers ending 

 in points, but that species seems confined to the Cape of Good Hope.
