Chestnut-sided Wahbler, Dendroica ■pcnaylvamai (Linn.). 

 "The Red-throated Flycatcher" received from William Bar- 

 tram. 



Myrtle Warbler, Dendroica coronnia (Linn.). "The 

 Golden -crowned" Fl^-catcher received from William Bartram. 

 The na!ne coronaia is evidently derived from Edwards' ver- 

 nacular name. 



Magnolia Warbler, Dendroica mandosa (Gmel.). "The 

 Yellow-rumped Flycatcher," a bird in the first-year autumnal 

 plumage received from William Bartram. 



Tit Lark, AiUhus poisUvcinicns (Lath.). "The Lark of 

 Pennsylvania" received from William Bartram. I>atham was 

 the first to found a binomial name upon this plate. 



Gnatcatciier, Polioptiln coendca (Linn. ). "The Little Blue- 

 gray Flycatcher " received from William Bartram along with 

 nests, the bird being then a regular breeder near Philadelphia. 



RuBY-CEOWNED Knight, Regulus calemlida (Linn.). Bartram 

 sent both the " Ruby crowned " and "Golden-crested Wrens" 

 and Edwards figured both, but while he recognized the former 

 as a new species, the latter was considered identical with the 

 European species for many 3'ears. 



No name has so thoroughly impressed itself on American 

 Ornithology as that of Alexander Wilson. His work was, in 

 the main, carried on in the neighborhood of Philadelphia and 

 many of his "types " were secured in this vicinity. Of all the 

 species, the types of which were secured in eastern Pennsylvania 

 and New Jersey, not less than twenty-three have Wilson's name 

 afTixed to them, and several more are closely identified with 

 him. 



Wilson very generally speaks of the locality where he secured 

 a new bird and when such a definite statement is not made we 

 are justified in regarding the vicinity of Philadelphia as locus 

 avis norse. 



The following list includes those species that were described 

 from Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey by Wilson or his 

 friend George Ord, who edited the last volumes of Wilson's 

 Ornithology, and later editions of the work : 



Bonaparte's Gull, Larvs phdadelphia (Ord.). This species
