(Lat. crinitus^ haired, i. e., crested; crinis, hair. Fig. 284.) GreatCrested Flycatcher. $ 9 , adult: Decidedly olivaceous above, a little browner on head,where the feathers have dark centres; throat and fore breast pure dark ash; rest of underparts bright yellow, the two colors meeting abruptly; primaries margined on both edges -withchestnut; secondaries and coverts edged and tipped with yeUowish-white; tail with all thefeathers but the central pair chestnut on the whole of the inner web (excepting perhaps a verynarrow space next the shaft) ; outer web of outer feathers edged with yellowish; middlefeathers, outer webs of the rest, and vdngs except as stated, dusky-brown. The foregoingphrases are intended to be chiefly antithetical to those used in describing cinerescens, below,No. 375. Other diagnostic points are: biU dark but not quite black, pale at base below;stout and comparatively short, hardly or not as long as tarsus, the latter perhaps never ,.

Veryyoung birds have rufous skirting of many feathers, in ad-dition to the chestnut above described, but this soon dis-appears. Large: length
