* Some writers liave suggested that Brisson's " Figuier de S. Domingue " is 

 the present species. As I have never seen a specimen of D. gitndlachi, I liave 

 not been able to institute a close comparison ; but it seems to me very doubtful 

 if tlie two birds are identical. In tlie first place, no Golden Warbler has been 

 found in S. Domingo, so that the locality given is of no assistance in determining 

 the exact species ; and, secondly, the bird described is evidently a young one ; and , 

 as in the immature stages all the Golden Warblers are more or less alike, no 

 identification seems possible. The following is the synonymy : —
