SYLVIA PINUS. 
122 . SYLVIA KARA, WILSON. BLUE GREEN WARBLER. 
WILSON, PLATE XXVII. FIG. IL 
This new species, the only one of its sort I have yet 
met with, was shot on the banks of Cumberland river, 
about the beginning of April. Whether male or female 
I am uncertain. It is one of those birds that usually 
glean among the high branches of the tallest trees, 
which render it difficult to be procured. It was darting 
about with great nimbleness among the leaves, and 
appeared to have many of the habits of the flycatcher. 
After several ineffectual excursions in search of another 
of the same kind, with which I might compare the 
present, I am obliged to introduce it with this brief 
account. 
The specimen has been deposited in Mr Peale’s 
museum. 
The blue green warbler is four inches and a half long, 
and seven and a half in extent; the upper parts are 
verditer, tinged with pale green, brightest on the front 
and forehead; lores, line over the eye, throat, and 
whole lower parts, very pale cream ; cheeks, slightly 
tinged with greenish ; bill and legs, bright light blue, 
except the upper mandible, which is dusky ; tail, forked, 
and, as well as the wings, brownish black ; the former 
marked on the three exterior vanes with white and 
edged with greenish ; the latter having the first and 
second row of coverts tipt with white. Note, a feeble 
chirp.

PINE-CREEPING WARBLER. 
WILSON, PLATE XIX. FIG. IV. 
This species inhabits the pine woods of the Southern 
States, where it is resident, and where I first observed 
it, running along the bark of the pines ; sometimes 
alighting, and feeding on the ground, and almost always,
