Jan., 1918] Status of Em pidonax Traill ii 91 



From the above facts it is very evident that the name 

 Em pidonax traillii traiUii belongs to the eastern race, and that 

 we must thus revert to the use of this name as it was before Mr. 

 Brewster transferred it to the western bird; and by this change 

 Empidonax traillii alnorum Brewster* now becomes a synonym.

 from the following localities, have been examined in the present
