114 RUBY-CROWNED 'KINGLET. 



Length four inches and a quarter; extent of wings six 

 inches; bill one-third of an inch; tarsus three-fourths 

 of an inch. 



The adult female in summer plumage resembles the 

 male, but the tints are in general duller, especially 

 the greenish yelloAV of the wings. 



Figured by Audubon and Wilson. 



Since the above was in type I have been informed 

 by the Rev. H. B. Tristram, that he has a specimen of 

 this bird which he had in the flesh, and which was 

 killed by a Durham pitman in 1852, in Branspeth 

 Woods.
