whitish supraloral line and orbital ring, and without black markings. 
Whole throat pale ash-gray (almost white on the chin), stained laterally 
and anteriorly with yellow ; entire breast gamboge-yellow, obscured with 
olivaceous-gray across the jugulum (probably entirely gray at first, the 
yellow leathers being probably the beginning of the first moult). ’Ab- 
domen white ; flanks and crissum pale buff. In my collection from Mt. 
Carmel, 111., July 19, 1875.” — R. R.
