Deaoriptions of Fir«t Plumage of Cer- 

 ta,.ii North Am, Bbe. Wm. Bre\»'st«r. 



31. Dendrceca pennsylvanica. 



First plumage : male. Eemiges, rectrices, etc., as in spring specimens. 

 Wing-bands white, scarcely edged with yellow, and the general aspect of 

 wing" much duller than in fall specimens. Rest of upper parts, sides of 

 head, jugulum, breast and sides, pale cinnamon, brightest on pileum, 

 lighter on throat and sides of head. Feathers of back with central spots 

 of dull black. Abdomen, anal region, and crissrim creamy-white. From 

 a specimen in my collection shot at Cambridge, Mass., July 18, 1874. It 

 is not a little remarkable that the wing-markings of this bird are much 

 more nearly like those of adults in spring than of the young in autumn.

15. Dendroica pennsylvanica.— In a series of 40 Chestnut-sided War. 

 biers now before me, 11 show the chestnut stripe on the sides; in 6 Of 

 these, however, it is only faintly indicated. One of the 40 has the yellow 

 crown of the adult; all have the wing-bands strongly tinged with sulphur 

 yellow, and almost all are bright olive green above. 

 The first arrival for the fall of 1890 was September 21.
