Contopus virens 
Description* of First Plumage of Cer- 
taia North Am, Bbs. Wm. Brewster. 
85. Contopus virens. 
First plumage: male. Above olive, with a brownish cast, the feathers 
of the crown and interscapular region with a faint edging of pale fulvous, 
those upon the nape having a much broader one of dull ash, producing a 
well-defined band or collar. Wing-bands light reddish-brown. Beneath, 
with sides of throat, breast, and body, light olivaceous-ash ; rest of under 
parts pale sulphur-yellow. From a specimen in my collection taken at 
Upton, Me., August 8, 1874. The young in autumnal plumage differ 
from adults in having the wing-bands pale fulvous, the under parts of a 
slightly deeper yellow.
