[Note. In the foregoing synonymy, the different modes of writing cestiva or aestirauTt not 

 preserved. All the above quotations are believed to be strictly applicable to the ordinary 

 North American bird, exclusive of its several West Indian conspecies or varieties The 

 Motacilla petechia Linn. SN". i. 334, n. 30, is based on Ficedula pensilvanica erythrocephalos 

 Briss. iii. 488, and Yellow Red-pole Edw. pi. 256, f. 2, and quoted from '"Pennsylvania"; 

 the references, however, and the descriptions of the authors cited, indicate clearly that it 

 is one of the West Indian red-capped conspecies of D. cestiva neither D. cextiva itself, nor 

 D.palmarum, though the name hos been used in connection with both these species. The 

 names ruficapilla, albicollis, and chloroleuca of Gmelin, all indicate birds like D. cestiva, but 

 are apparently rather referable to some of the West Indian forms. " Bloody-sided " War- 

 blor is one of the epithets of Dendrceca pennsylvanica or icterocephala, the Chestnut-sided 

 Warbler of authors ; but the Bloody-eided .Warbler of Pennant and Latham, based on 

 Ficedula martinicana of Briss. iii. 490, pi. 22, f. 4 (== Mot. ruficapilla of Gmelin), is one of 

 the West Indian Warblers like D. cestiva. The Sylvia flava of Vieillot seems to be unques- 

 tionably D. cestiva. In addition to the synonyms given, the curious reader, if he be so 

 minded, may look among the older names for a Motacilla or Sylvia trochilus var. 0, a 

 supposed variety of the Willow Wren or Yellow Wren of Europe, for a long timo quoted
