SYNONYMY OF S1URU8 AURICAPiLLUS 297 



omy. The number of primaries (nine) excludes it from the 

 Turdidce. The genus is probably definable by the characters I 

 have given, and I continue to endorse Baird's reference of it to 

 the SylvlcoUdcc, considering it to be a terrestrial type of Warbler. 

 The original name ot the genus, written Seiiirus by Swainson, 

 rendered Sejurus by some and amended as Siurus by others, has 

 been discarded by some on account of its identity in sound, 

 though not in orthography or etymology, with Sciurus, a mam- 

 malian genus. But I see no necessity for this. There are only 

 three well-determined species, all of them North American, and 

 two of them occurring in the Colorado Basin.
