107. H. ce-la'-ta. Lat. celatus, concealed, from celo; the orange color of the crown being hidden. 



108. H. c. lu-tes'-cens. Lat. inceptive verb lutesco, present participle lutescens, from luteus, 



yellow ; from lutum, an herb used in dyeing yellow. There is actually no such verb as 

 lutesco, the describer of the species having apparently mistaken lutesco, I grow muddy, 

 become miry, for a supposed lutesco, I grow yellow, by some confounding of luteus, 

 muddy, loamy (hence possibly clay-colored or yellowish) with lutei;s, golden-yellow. The 

 bright yellowness of the bird in comparison with H. celatn being its prime characteristic, 

 the propriety of assuming the derivation to be from lutum, and hence writing lutescens, 

 from a supposed lutesco, is obvious. 



A form lately distinguished by Ridgway, Am. Journ. Sci., 3d ser., iv, 1872, p. 457. 



109. H. pSr-g-gri'-na. Lat. peregrinus, wandering, alien, exotic, that comes from foreign parts; 



from per, through, and ager, a field or land ; literally, " across country." 



110. Peu-ce'-dra-mus 61-i-va'-cg-us. Gr. irtvKT], a pine-tree, and $pa/j.f?i>, 2d aorist infinitive, 



from rpe'xco, I run. The allusion is to the pine creeping habits of the bird. N. B. Many 

 genera are compounded from the same root, and spelled either -dramus or -tiromus. Either 

 is correct. Lat. olivaceus, pertaining to the olive; in this case, in color, olivaceous. 

 Not in the orig. ed. Since discovered in Arizona by H. W. Henshaw. 



111. Den-droe'-ca aes-ti'-va [dayndrwaykah aysteevah]. Gr. SffSpov, a tree, and oliceco, I 



inhabit ; olicos, a habitation. The word was originally compounded Dendroica by G. R. 

 Gray : later emended as above. The full form would be Dendraecetes, like Pocecetes, 

 Nephfccftes (OIKTJT^S, an inhabitant). Lat. cestira, adjective from crstas, the summer 

 season ; cestus, heat, ardor (Gr. aWca, I burn). Notice the long accented penult. 



112. D. vir'-ens [pronounced virraynce]. Lat. virens, participle present of circo, I grow green. 



113. D. 5c-cl-den-ta'-lis. Lat. occidentalis, occidental, western; that is, in the place where the 



sun sets ; from occido, I fall down. 



114. D. town'-send-i. To J. K. Townsend, Esq., companion of Nuttall during his travels.

 like English ow ; as if we made it ta-un-.
