WILSON, PLATE XVJII. FIG. IV. ~ FEMALE. 
The male of this species having been described ’!j 
the preceding article, accompanied by a particular de^^ 
of its manner's, I have little farther to add here relat'^ 
to this bird. 1 found several of them round Wilmiug'®, j 
North Carolina, in the month of January, along 
margin of the river, and by the Cypress Srvamp, ou * 
opposite side. The individual from which the dcseff 
tion was taken, was the actual nurse of a young 
pen bunting, in the act of feeding which I took 
drawing of it. ,j 
It is five inches long, and seven in extent ; the 
upper parts, green olive ; something brownish on * , 
neck, tips of the wings, and head ; the lower p*'^^ 
yellow, brightest on the throat and vent; legs, 1'*’- 
coloured. The chief difference between this and ' . 
male, in the markings of their plumage, is, that 
female is destitute of the bkek bar through the 
and the bordering one of pale bluish white.

WILSON, PLATE XXVL FIG. IV. 
This neat and active little species I have never 
with in the norks of any European naturalist. ^ J 
an inhabitant of the swamps of the southern States, 
has been several times seen in the lower parts 
States of New Jersey and Delaware. Amidst 
unapproachable thickets of deep morasses it coinn'‘'Jjj, 
spends its time, during summer, and has a sharp 
ing note, nowise musical. It leaves the southern 5ib‘ 
early in October.
