BIRDS OF HAITI AND SAN DOMINGO. 



bright chrome yellow; beneath yellow, washed with olive on the 

 flanks, and brightest on the crissum." — Bryant, P. B. S. {Orig. 

 Desc). 



Length 4.10; wing 2.60; tail 1.55; tarsus .53; bill .38. 



This interesting species is apparently not common, although 

 several specimens in immature plumage were procured; no adult 

 birds were seen. It appears to be somewhat restricted in its 

 range, as all specimens thus far have been taken in Haiti, and 

 none have been recorded from the eastern or San Domingo part 

 of the island. The specimen figured in the plate represents an 

 adult bird which has been forwarded to me through the kindness 

 of Mr. Robert Ridgway, from the Smithsonian Institution.
