CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER. 
black and dull yellow; wings black, primaries edged with pale 
blue, the first and second row of coverts broadly tipt with pale 
yellow, secondaries broadly edged with the same; tail black, 
handsomely forked, exteriorly edged with ash, the inner webs 
of the three exterior feathers with each a spot of white; from 
the extremity of the black at the lower mandible, on each side, 
a streak of deep reddish chestnut descends along the sides of the 
neck, and under the wings to the root of the tail; the rest of the 
lower parts are pure white; legs and feet ash; bill black; irides 
hazel. The female has the hind head much lighter, and the chest- 
nut on the sides is considerably narrower and not of so deep a 
tint. 
Turton and some other writers have bestowed on this little 
bird the singular epithet of hloody-sided, for which I was at a 
loss to know the reason, the colour of that part being a plain 
chestnut; till on examining Mr. Edwards’s coloured figure of 
this bird in the public library of this city, I found its side tin- 
ged with a brilliant blood colour. Hence, I suppose, originated 
the name!
