 in order to attract your attention. The male is most remarkable 

 for this practice. 



The Blue-eyed Warbler is five inches long and seven broad- 

 hind head and back greenish yellow; crown, front and whole lower 

 parts rich golden yellow ; breast and sides streaked laterally with 

 dark red; wings and tail deep brown, except the edges of the for- 

 mer and the inner vanes of the latter, which are yellow; the tail is 

 also slightly forked ; legs a pale clay color ; bill and eye-lids light 

 blue. The female is of a less brilliant yellow, and the streaks of 

 i-ed on the breast are fewer and more obscure. Buffon is mis- 

 taken in supposing No. 1, of PL enl. Plate Iviii, to be the female 

 of this species.
