■ThcTu appears to be but a single race iuhabiting North America. 



t Wliile there is undoubtedly a very ai)preciable difference between specimena of If. varia from tLo 

 West Indies aud those from the interior of Eastern North America in the length of the bill, it is thn 

 small billed form which should receive a new name, since Linnajus's name varia was based upon tln« 

 bird of the South Atlautic States aud West Indies. If to be regarded as separable, the name borealii^ 

 Nutt., may be applied to the western birds.
