NOTE. It may be worth while to look into the synonymy of the Blackburnian Warbler, 

 part of it being very problematical. The earliest conjectured name of the bird is the 

 "Fignier orange" of Buffon, figured on PI. Enlum. 53, f. 3, under the name of "Figuier 

 etrauger", and said to be from "Guiana". This is the solo basis of no less than three 

 binomial names Motacilla fusca Miiller, 1776, M. aurantia Bodd., 1783, and M. chrysocephala 

 Gm., 1788, and also became the '-Orange-headed Warbler" of Latham. The PI. Enlum. is 

 not clearly referable to the present species, nor are the descriptions identifiable with cer- 

 tainty. Miiller's runs as follows : ,,55. Der Fliigelfleck, Motacilla fusca. Sie ist oben 

 braun, hat einen gelben Wirbel, und gelbe Augenringe. Die Bru^t ist roth, der Bauch 

 gelb, und die Fliigel sind mit einem weissen Flecken gezeichnet, Buffon." Latham says: 

 " Bill black : top and sides of the head, fore part and sides of the neck, fine orange : over 

 the eye a brown band ; beneath the eye a second, but paler : the upper parts of the body 

 and quills reddish brown : wing coverts black and white : breast and belly pale yellow : 

 tail black, edged with pale yellow: legs yellow." These terms are so discordant with
