107. H. ce-la'-ta. Lat. celatus, concealed, from celo; the orange color of the crown being hidden. 



108. H. c. lu-tes'-cens. Lat. inceptive verb lutesco, present participle lutescens, from luteus, 



yellow ; from lutum, an herb used in dyeing yellow. There is actually no such verb as 

 Jutcsco, the describer of the species having apparently mistaken lutesco, I grow muddy, 

 become miry, for a supposed lutesco, I grow yellow, by some confoundhig of luteus, 

 muddy, loamy (hence possibly clay-colored or yellowish) with luiciis, golden-yellow. The 

 bright yellowness of the bird in comparison witli //. celnta being its prime characteristic, 

 the propriety of assuming the derivation to be from lutum, and hence writing lutescens, 

 from a supposed lutesco, is obvious. 



A form lately distinguished by Ridgway, Am. Journ. Sci., 3d ser., iv, 1872. p. 457. 



109. H. pgr-e-gri'-na. T.a.t. peregrinus, wandering, alien, exotic, that comes from foreign parts; 



from pei\ through, and ar/er, a field or land ; literally, "across country." 



110. Peu-ce'-dra-mus ol-I-va'-ce-us. Gr. irev/cTj, a pine-tree, and SpafifTu, 2d aorist infinitive, 



from Tpe'xco, I run. The allusion is to the pine-creeping liabits of the bird. N. B. Many 

 genera are compounded from the same root, and spelled either -dramus or -drornus. Either 

 is correct. — Lat. olivaceus, pertaining to the olive; in this case, in color, olivaceous. 

 Not in the orig. ed. Since discovered in Arizona by H. W. Henshaw. 



111. Den-droe'-ca aes-ti'-va [dayndrwaykah aysteevah]. Gr. SevSpov, a tree, and oIk4oi, I 



inhabit ; oIkos, a habitation. Tlie word was originally compounded Dendroica by G. R. 

 Gray : later emended as above. The full form would be Dendratcetes, like Pooecetes, 

 Nephoccetes (olK7]T-r)s, an inliabitant). — Lat. cestira, adjective from cestas, the summer 

 season ; ceslus, heat, ardor (Gr. aidoi, I burn). Notice tlie long accented penult. 



112. D. vTr'-ens [pronounced virraynce]. Lat. virens, participle present of virco, I grow green. 



113. D. 5c-ci-den-ta'-lTs. Lat. occidentalis, occidental, western; that is, in the place where the 



sun sets ; from occido, I fall down.
