THE FIRE-EYED WARBLERS.

The FIRE-EYED WARBLERS (_Pyropthalma_), as they have been called by

Bonaparte, on account of their bare and brightly coloured eyelids,

represent a group recognisable from the True Warblers by the comparative

shortness of their very rounded wing, in which the third and fourth

quills are of equal length, and also by the long, decidedly graduated

tail and thick hair-like plumage.
