APPENDIX. 



The adult female probably lacks the red of the head and neck, although said to 

 be " like the male, but the scarlet color of the head only extending to the nape and 

 throat" (ScLATER, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xi. 1886, 192). The occurrence of this species 

 in California can only be considered as purely accidental, its habitat being Colombia 

 and Ecuador, entirely south of the Isthmus of Panama. 



Genus VIREO Vieillot, pages 469-478. 



In Termeszetrajzi Fuzetek, vol. ix. part 1, 1885, p. 85, Yon Madarasz has de- 

 scribed a new Vireo ( V. forreri) from the Tres Marias Islands. It is said to re- 

 semble most nearly V. flavoviridis (Cass.), from which it differs chiefly in absence 

 of the superciliary stripe and dark streak on sides of crown, the latter lighter gray, 

 and the breast tinged with grayish. 



Genus CERTHIOLA Sundevall, page 479. 



According to the A. O. U. Code, the proper name for this genus is Ccereba 

 Yieillot, first established in Ols. Am. Sept. i. 1807, 70. Although the name was evi- 

 dently intended to cover all the Coerebidce known at that time, the only species 

 mentioned is Certhia flaveola Linn., which must therefore be considered the type. 

 To the generic group to which the name Cozreha has been quite universally restricted 

 by more recent authors, the name Arbelorhina Cab. {Arch, fur Naturg. 1847, 325) 

 may be available ; for, although this was at first intended simply as a substitute 

 for Ccereba (the latter being rejected as not classical), its author three years later 

 {Mus. Hein. i. 1850, 96) restricted it to the group which has Certhia cyanea Linn. 

 as type.

507-509. 



On page 508 it is stated that the female of this species " has not been described." 

 This is an error, for the following description occurs in volume x. of the " Catalogue 

 of Birds in the British Museum" (pp. 295, 296), by E. Bowdler Sharpe : — 



^^ Adult female. Differs from the male in being olive-yellow above, slightly 

 mottled with blackish centres on the crown, lower back, and rump ; upper tail- 

 coverts ashy gray, with black centres ; scapulars uniform ashy gray ; wings as in 

 the male, with two white wing-bars, the median series very broadly tipped with 

 white, the ashy margins to the quills broader than in the male ; tail as in the male ; 

 a broad eyebrow and entire sides of face golden yellow, the black line through the 

 eye dusky blackish ; base of cheeks and feathers below the eye whitish, as also the 

 base of the chin ; breast and abdomen white ; and streaked with black on the 

 flanks as in the male; the throat yellow, the lower part and fore-neck ashy 

 whitish, overshading the black throat, which can be traced below ; axillaries and 

 under wing-coverts white ; quills dusky below, white along the edge of the inner 

 web. Total length 4.5 inches, culmen 0.5, wing 2.5, tail 2.05, tarsus 0.75 {Mus. 

 Salvin and Godman)."
