22. Protonotaria citrea. 



" First plumage. Remiges, rectrioes, primary coverts, and alute as in 

 the adult. Entire abdomen, anal region, and orissum white ; head, neck, 

 Lack, and jugulum pale greenish-olive, the throat and jugulum paler and 

 more olive,'the upper parts brighter and more greenish ; rump and upper 

 tail-coverts plumbous-gray. From a specimen killed at Mt. Carmel, 111., 

 July 22, 1875 ; in my collection. In this specimen a large patch on each 

 side the breast is bright gamboge-yellow (as is also a row of ' pin-feath- 

 ers ' along the middle of the throat), indicating the adult plumage." — R. K.

A beautiful albino Prothonotarj Warbler {Protonoiarm citrea) is also 

 wortlij of mention. The yellow is of normal extent and intensity, but 

 the gray is entirely replaced by pure white. The wings and tail are thus 

 pure white and the body deep intense yellow, the olive of the back being 

 replaced with yellow. The specimen thus looks very much like a white- , 

 winged yellow Canary with a Prothonotary's bill. ^.a.OJUu^, H. tf.
