Op this bird I can give but little account. It ia one of those tran- sient visitors that pass through Pennsylvania, in April and May, on their way farther north to breed. During its stay here, which seldom exceeds a week or ten days, it appears actively engaged among the openinijr buds and young leaves, in search of insects; has no song but a feeble chirp, or twitter, and is not numerous. As it leaves us early in May, it probably breeds in Canada, or, perhaps, some parts of New- England ; though 1 have no certain knowledge of the fact In a whole day's excursion, it is rare to meet with more than one or two of these birds; though a thousand individuals of some species may be seen in the same time. Perhaps they may be more numerous on some other part of tiie continent Tlie length of this species is five inches; the extent, seven and three quarters. Tlie front, line over the eye, and ear-feathers, are pure white; upper part of the head, brilliant yellow; the lores and space immediately below are marked with a triangular patch of black ; the back and hind head are streaked with gray, dusky black, and dull yel- low ; wings, black; primaries, edged witli pale blue, the first and sec- ond row of coverts, broadly tipped with pale yellow; secondaries, broadly edged with the same ; tail, black, hand
