YELLOW WHITE-EYE. 
all of a small size, nearly intermediate in their affi- 
nities between warblers and titmice. Only one 
species, we believe, is found in the New World ; the 
others, about twelve in number, being restricted to 
the warm latitudes of Asia, Africa, and Australia. 
One of them, the Zoslerops cureirostris, Swains, 
(the Ti'iceuvn cMoronotus of the Paris Museum), has 
the bill nearly as much curved as some of the honey- 
suckers. The general plumage of all those hitherto 
discovered is green above and yellowish beneath; 
so that the species, otherwise well marked, possess 
a strong mutual resemblance in the general cast of 
their colours. One of these, hitherto undescribed, 
inhabits Senegal, and is the D. flam of our plate. 
It is of the size of Z. dorsalis, an Australian species, 
but the bill, which is black, is larger. The upper 
plumage is of a bright greenish yellow, the under 
pure and bright yellow, uniform in all its parts. 
The quills and tail are blackish, edged with yellow ; 
the snow-white ring round the eye is very conspi- 
cuous, and it is connected to the base of the bill 
by a deep black line ; the tail, although divaricated, 
is even, and the bill and feet blackish. 
Total length, 4J inches ; bill, from the front, ; 
ditto, from the gape, 4 ; tail beyond the wings, 1.
