WARBLER. 159 



Inhabits Louisiana ; called Grasset, from gaining a great degree 

 of fat, and sought for by the lovers of good eating. This seems also 

 to coincide with the four former.

SIZE of a Goldfinch ; length five inches and a half, breadth 

 nine. Bill black ; forehead the same ; on each side of the bill, at 

 the base, a spot of yellow ; throat and neck before bright yellow, 

 bounded on each side of the latter by a band of black, which begins 

 at the corners of the mouth, and passes through the eyes; upper 

 parts of the head, neck, and body, elegant grey ; beneath white, 

 spotted on the sides with black ; sides under the wings streaked with 

 brown ; wing coverts brown, crossed with two white bars ; quills as 

 the coverts, but plain ; tail very slightly forked, and black, all but 

 the two outer feathers white on the inner webs. 



The female is yellow on the throat, and more dark and dingy in 

 colour. The young is neither marked with black nor yellow, which 

 so eminently distinguishes the male ; nor has the young the yellow 

 throat. 



Inhabits Carolina and Georgia, where it is seen creeping about 

 the trees after insects ; the nest suspended to the branches of small 

 shrubs, made of dry grass, stalks, &c. and the eggs four in number, 

 white, spotted with black.
