SYNONYMY OF SIURUS MOTACILLA 299 



on the west coast of Mexico. Our koowledge of its natural 

 history has, strange to say in the case of so very common and 

 widely diffused a bird, only very lately been completed by the 

 discovery of its wonderful vocal powers, made independently 

 by Mr. John Burroughs, as well known to naturalists by his 

 delightful sketches of bird-life as he is to others by his essays 

 in the field of general literature, and by Mr. George A. Board- 

 man, whose name is inseparably connected with the culture of 

 American ornithology.
