I have named this species in compliment to Mr. M. A. Frazar, 
j| by whom it was collected. 
Sayornis dominicensis. General appearance of the last 
species but much larger ; abdomen and crissum showing an 
I orange tinge ; olive of the sides darker ; tail feathers narrowly 
i tipped with dull white. Length, 6 ; wing, 3 ; tail, 2.75 ; tarsus, 
.62 ; bill, .55. 
I have placed this species in the genus Sayornis provisionally. 
Myiarchus raflcaudstus. Crown dark olive brown, becom- 
ing lighter on the back and showing a more decided grayish 
tinge. Throat and breast ashy ; belly, crissum and under wing- 
1 coverts, pale yellow ; wing-coverts edged with brownish-white, 
forming two dull wing-bands ; tertials broadly edged with yellow- 
ish-white. Primaries, except the first, narrowly edged with 
rufous on the outer rib, showing a broader and much paler edging 
of the same color on the inner webs of the same feathers. Two 
central tail feathers dark brown, all the rest having more than 
half of the inner web rufous to the tip. Bill and feet, black. 
Length, 7.25 ; wing, 3.50 ; tail, 3.25 ; tarsus, .75 ; bill, .75. 
The above may be easily distinguished by the tail markings. 
Myiarchus stolidus from Jamaica approaches it closely, but lacks 
the bright rufous on the outer tail feather. 
Strix dominicensis. General plumage above dark brown, 
shading into orange-rufous on the side of the neck. Quills show- 
ing inner webs brownish, outer webs dull orange-rufous, banded 
with brown. Entire underparts pale orange-rufous mottled with 
light brown, whitening somewhat on the throat and abdomen. 
Face deep gray ; an ante-orbital spot of black *, circle of feathers 
around the face dark chestnut, bordered with black on the throat. 
Tarsus not feathered to the feet. Length, 13.50; wing, 10; tail, 
4.60; tarsus, 2.45.
