[Note. — In tho foregoing synonymy, the different modes of writing cestiva ovaestiraAv^ not 

 preserved. — All the above quotations are believed to be strictly applicable to the o"dinarv 

 North American bird, exclusive of its several West Indian conspecies or varieties — The 

 Motacilla petechia Linn. SN^. i. 334, n. 30, is based on Ficedula pensilvanica crythrocephalos 

 Briss. iii. 486, and Yellow Red-pole Edw. pi. 2.')6, f. 2, and quoted from " Penu.sylvania" ; 

 the references, however, and the descriptions of the authors cited, indicate clearly thit it 

 is one of the West Indian red-capped conspecies of D. cestiva — neither D. cestiva itself, nor 

 D. palmarum, though tho name has been used ia connection with both these species. — The 

 names ruficapilla, albicollis, and chloroleuca of Gmelin, all indicate birds like Z). cestiva, but 

 are apparently rather referable to some of the West Indian forms. " Bloody-sided " Wnr- 

 bli:T is one of tho epithets of Dendroeca pennsylvanica or icterocephala, the Chestnut-sided 

 Warbler of authors ; but the Bloody-sided Warbler of Pennant aud Latham, based on 

 Ficedida martinicana of Biiss. iii. 490, pi. 22, f. 4 (= Mot. ruficapilla of Gmelin), is one of 

 the West Indian Warblers like D. cestiva.— The Sylvia Jlavaoi YieiWot seem.s to be unques- 

 tionably D. cestiva. — In addition to tho synonyms given, the curious reader, if he be so 

 minded, may look among the older names for a Motacilla or Sylvia troohilus var. 0, a 

 supposed variety of tho Willow Wren or Yellow Wren of Europe, for a long timo quoted
