 instance part of the text refers to the nesting of the Olive- 

 backed tmdoubtedlv, the nest and eggs are closely described, 

 perhajis for the first time : the locality however is erroneous, 

 Mississi])pi being so far south of its breeding range. 



Wilson found the construction of specific terms so distaste- 

 ful that he often misapplied old appellations, thereby losing 

 the honor of naming several species lie had discovered, 

 described and figured, through preoccupation of the names.
