ViREO GRISEUS GRISEUS (Bodd.)- 

 Muscicapa cantatrix Wils.,'2, 1810, p. 166, pi. 18, fig. 6. 



M. C. Z. No. 67867. Although badly battered, this specimen 

 appears to me to be the original of the portrait of Muscicapa cantatrix 

 Wils. Even the ghastly stare of the white glass eye is 'caught in 

 Wilson's copy. The gape of the beak, too, is exactly the same. 



Mniotilta varia (Linn.). 



Certhia maculata Wil?., 3, 1811, p. 23, pi. 19, fig. 3. 



M. C. Z. No. 6786S. \Yilson's figured type, I doubt not. 



WiLSONIA PUSILLA PUSILLA (Wils.). 



Mxiscicapa pusilla Wils., 3, 1811, p. 103, pi. 26, fig. 4. 



Sylvia unlsordi Bonap., Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 4, 1824, p. 179. 



M. C. Z. No. 67868. Probable type. 



SiALiA siALis siALis (Linn.). 



M. C. Z. No. 67870. This specimen looks as if it had served as the 

 pattern for Wilson's beautiful and oft-copied portrait of the Bluebird, 

 1, 1808, pi. 3, fig. 3.
