The economy of this bird, notwithstanding its general similitude 

 in plumage to the MerulidcBy is much more in unison with the 

 Syhiadce. Its manners, circumstantially described by Wilsoft, 

 will place it between the Sylviana and Motacillina. There are 

 several other species, mixed among the Warblers and Thrushes of 

 Pennant and Latham.
