D. MONTANA HELMINTHOPHAGA (1) CARBON ATA 237 



be retained in its emended form Dendroeca; the word being from 

 the Greek de>dpov, a tree, and some one of the many words that 

 group about oixsw, I inhabit, and oixoq, a Jiouse — signifying a 

 tree-tenant, or one who is at home in the trees, as all our Wood- 

 warblers are, excepting perhaps D. palmarum. 



For, as Baird showed in 1858, the only choice is between 

 Dendroeca, and Rimamplius of Kaflnesque, which latter, in the 

 forms of Bhimamphus or Rhimanphus, has been used by Hart- 

 laub and Cabanis. Eafinesque's description of the type of his 

 genus, E. citrinus, from the Ohio, has been supposed to indicate 

 the Summer Warbler, B. ccstiva, and he doubtless had that 

 species in the distorted perspective of his mental vision ; but 

 the description of his "Citron Open-bill", as he called it, is that 

 of an imaginary if not altogether impossible bird, so faulty as 

 to render the name unavailable for the purposes of science. 



Dendroeca is the largest North American genus of birds, con- 

 taining some thirty-five reputed species, nearly thirty of which 

 are doubtless valid. No fewer than twenty-five of these have 

 latterly been ascribed to North America; but two of them, 

 "moutaiia"* and "carbonata",t are not now substantiated by
