2. Setophaga ruticilla, (Linne) Swainson. Redstabt. — A male of 
this species, which I took here, is also remarkable for its high state of devel- 
opment (No. 1003 $, May 17, 1876, E. A. M.). It is a fully adult and 
highly plurnaged bird. Its chief peculiarity consists in the extreme 
development of the orange-red on the ventral surface, and the restriction 
of the black to the forepart of the breast, where its margin is quite 
sharply defined, being abruptly intercepted by the orange-red, which oc- 
cupies the whole under parts and sides of the body, with the exception of the 
under tail-coverts, which are white at base, the longest feathers being black- 
ish. The orange-red at the base of the rectrices and remiges is also much 
less restricted than in the normally plurnaged individual.
