Winter Plumage, Male. — Above, olive green; a yellow super- 

 ciliary line from the base of the bill ; underparts, with the exception 

 of the" belly, bright yellow ; the sides of the breast with indistinct 

 streaks of olive; sides of the head, olive green; belly and crissum, 

 dusky white; wings and tail, dark brown, the feathers edged with 

 dusky white, the former showing two distinct bands ; inner webs of 

 the two outer tail-feathers showing oblique patches of dull white. 



Winter Plumage, Female. — Smaller than the male, and much 

 paler; upper parts, grayish, with trace of olive; throat, very pale 

 yellow, becoming grayish brown upon the sides of the belly ; side 

 of the head and neck, gray. 



Length 5.50; wing 2.80; tail 2.35; tarsus .80; bill .50. 



This Warbler is a winter visitant, and may, perhaps, be considered 

 a resident. That it breeds in San Domingo occasionally there can 

 be no doubt, as several specimens of young birds were taken in July, 

 near La Vega.
