& The reference to Marcgrave, however, as pointed out by Todd (Ann. Carnegie 

 Mus., viii, 1913, 521) pertains clearly to Scardafella ridgwayi brasiliensis, and therefore, 

 so far as Chxmepelia is concerned, Linnaeus' species includes only the North American, 

 Jamaican, and Barbados forms; and the specific name, passerina, was explicitly 

 restricted to the North American form by Bonaparte in 1855, as shown by Todd (t. c. 

 p. 533).
