FEMALE GOLDEN-CROWNED GOLD-CREST. iG) 
are white, slightly tinged with rufous. The primaries are 
dusky, tinged with cinnamon, and having brown shafts; they 
are considerably paler beneath. The first primary is a quarter 
of an inch shorter than the second, which is nearly as long as 
the third; the third is longest; the fourth and fifth gradually 
decrease, and the sixth is decidedly shorter than the first. 
The tail is hardly emarginated, and of a blackish brown colour. 
We know nothing of the habits of this flycatcher, except 
what has been communicated by Mr T. Pesle, from his 
manuscript notes. The bird had a nest in July, the time 
when it was obtained ; its voice is somewhat different from 
that of the pewee, and first called attention to its nest, which 
was built on a tree, and consisted chiefly of moss and clay, 
with a few blades of dried grass occasionally interwoven. The 
young birds were, at that season, just ready to fly.
