 Tyrannus tiriri, Temm., Tabl. Meth. 1838, 24. 

 Gray Kingbird, Baird, 1. c., et Auct. 



Sp. Ch.— Wing, 4.45-4.80; tail, 3.50-4.05; bill, from nostril, .7S-.82, 

 depth at base .30-.3G, width .4:7-55; tarsus, .70-.75; middle toe, .52-.G0. 

 Adult: Similar to T. rostratus, but lighter plumbeous above, and the 

 lining of the wing decidedly yellow. Young: So colored patch on the 

 crown ; smaller wing-coverts, upper tail-coverts, and rectxices distinctly 

 bordered with pale rusty; lining of wing deep sulphur-yellow, and 

 crissum strongly tinged with the same. 



Hab. — West Indies and adjacent coasts of the continent from Florida 

 to New Granada. Accidental as far north along the Atlantic coast of 

 the United States as Massachusetts. 



Remarks. — The specimens in the National Museum Collection rep- 

 resent very nearly the known distribution of the species. Specimens 

 from Grey town, Xicaragua (40438, H. E. Holland), and from Cartagena, 

 Xew Grenada (17S85, A. Schott), are quite indistinguishable from Antil- 

 leau examples.
