«There appears to be but a single race inhabiting North America. 
+ While there is undoubtedly a very appreciable difference between specimens of IM. varia from the 
West Indies and those from the interior of Eastern North America in the length of the bill, it is the 
small-billed form which should receive a new name, since Linnzeus’s name varia was based upon the 
bird of the South Atlantic States and West Indies. If to be regarded as separable, the name borealis, 
Nutt., may be applied to the western birds. i
