" H. maculata, Cabanis, which is evidently quite distinct from both H. virens and 

 H. chloris, is at once excluded from comparison with H. parva on account of the 

 dimensions, and especially as having an entirely different wing-formula." 



Dr. Stejneger's description is as follows : — 



Description. — Adult male. Entire upper surface and sides of body, as well as the 

 outer edges of quills and tail-feathers, bright yellowish olive-green, inclining to olive- 

 yellow on forehead, region above the lores, supercilia, and rump ; trace of a dusky 

 line between bill and eye ; under surface, including under tail-coverts, bright olive- 

 yellow ; middle of abdomen, tibiae, axillaries, and under wing-coverts white, except 

 those of the latter nearest to the edge of the wing, which are bright yellow ; quills 

 blackish, edged in the outer web with yellowish olive, in the inner one with white. 

 Bill horny, brownish grey, pale at base below the nostrils ; feet horny, brownish grey. 



The female is similar to the male. 



Dimensions (taken from a specimen in my collection). — Total length 4" 30 inches, 

 wing from carpal joint 2'40, culmen -40, tarsus - 70, tail 1*40.
