102 Mr. Nuttall’s Remarks and Inquiries 
Any particulars respecting the nest and eggs of this fine and 
beautiful songster, which passes the summer in our vicinity, will 
be interesting in its history. 
Muscicapa virens, (The Wood Pewee.) What is the bird 
which utters the note attributed improperly to this species by 
Wilson? A new species nearly related to this, M. Traillii, is 
given by Audubon, pl. 45. What are the notes of this? 
Muscicapa *inornata, (Olive-sided Pewee.) ‘This large, 
new species, which at first glance so much resembles the com- 
mon King-Bird, was obtained in this vicinity ; and was received 
about the same time from the vicinity of Cape May and Egg- 
Harbor in New Jersey, by my friend, William Cooper, Esq. We 
have both inadvertently, but fortunately, fixed upon the same 
characteristic specific name, arising, no doubt, from a comparison 
of it with the King-Bird, from which it is obviously distinguisha- 
ble by the absence of the reclining brilliant crest. The following 
specific designation may perhaps be sufficient in order to recog- 
nise it. 
Muscicapa *inornata. (Acad. Nat. Sc. Philad. ; W. Cooper, in 
information by letter.) — Dusky-brown, head darker and with- 
out discolored spot; the sides olive-grey ; lateral space beneath 
the wing white; abdomen and rump yellowish-white; under 
mandible horn-yellow; the tail wholly dusky, emarginate, and 
extending but little beyond the closed wings; second primary 
longest, the first and third equal. 
This species appertains properly to the group of Pewees, 
and has a near affinity even to the wood species, but still differs 
in several important particulars. The specimens, both females, 
were obtained about the seventh of June last ; and from the state 
of the ovaries, it was obvious they must breed in the neighbour-
