Ferruginous Warbler, Gen. Syn. Sup. ii. 244. Shaw's Zool. x. 667. 



THIS is ferruginous above, and white beneath ; wings and tail 

 black. — Inhabits South America. M. d'Azara describes this, five 

 inches and three quarters long, expanse six. Bill blue, with the 

 point black, five lines long, in shape a little compressed, and some- 

 what bent at the point; a streak of white passes from the nostril, 

 above the eye and ear ; beneath this the sides of the head are velvet 

 black ; throat whitish grey, with a half-collar of black ; fore part of 

 the neck, and under parts of the body and sides the colour of Spanish 

 snuff; the rest of the plumage dusky. 



M. d'Azara bought of the natives of Paraguay two birds of this 

 kind, the only ones he had ever seen ; probably the same, or very 

 much resembling, the Ferruginous Warbler.
