168 REVIEW OF AMERICAN BIRDS. [PART I. 
I have nothing especial to add to the account of this species con- 
tained in the ‘“ Birds of North America,” except to say that. the 
differences there referred to in the length of the bill are seen in the 
more recent specimens, and belong more particularly to southern 
skins. Dr. Brewer considers the eggs of the southern bird so differ- 
ent as to warrant their specific separation. I find it, however, very 
difficult to express the differences other than as consisting in longer 
bill and less degree of black beneath. 
This species is remarkable as occurring at Mazatlan and Colima, 
and not in California or the Rocky Mountains.

PARULA, Boy. 
Chloris, Born, Isis, 1826, 972 (not of Maurine, 1752). (Type Parus 
americanus, L.) 
Sylvicola, Swarnson, Zool. Jour. II, July, 1827, 160 (not of Humparey, 
Mus. Calonnianum, 1797, 60). (Same type.) 
Parula, Bon., Geog. Comp. Cat. 1838. (Same type.) 
Compsothlypis, Cas. Mus. Hein. 1850-51, 20. (Same type.) (Parula 
rejected as contrary to the Linnzan canons of nomenclature.) 
If Mcehring’s genera are rejected as made prior to the establish- 
ment of the Linnzan binomial nomenclature, and by a non-binomial 
author, there is, perhaps, no reason why Boie’s name Chloris should 
not be adopted for this group. I, however, leave the matter in 
abeyance for the present.
