NOTE. The Black-whiskered Vireo, or "Whip-tom-kelly", which occurs 

 in Florida, has been identified with the species of Cuba and the Bahamas, 



the first distinctive name of 

 which appears to be barba- 

 tulus of Cabanis, 1855, ap- 

 plied to the Cuban bird. It 

 had before been well known, 

 under a variety of names, 

 even excluding those per- 

 taining to the other variety 

 (calidria of Jamaica, &c.). 

 FJG. 53. Vireo barbatulus, natural size. if we may presume Nuttall 



to hive meant this species, he called it V. longirostris (Man. i. 2d ed. 1840, 

 359), supposing it to be the V. longirostris of Swainson, FBA.ii. 1831,237, 

 which, however, is the true V. altiloquus. Gambel attributed it to this coun- 

 try, under the erroneous name of V. altiloquus, which is the other variety 

 of Jamaica, &c. ( Vireosylvia altiloqua, Bp. CA. i. 1850, 320 ; Scl. PZS. 1861, 72 ; 

 March, Pr. Phila. Acad. 1863, 294). Some have also noticed it under the name 

 of Vireosylvia altiloqua the original Muscicapa altiloqua of Vieillot, OAS. C7, 

 pi. 38 (St. Domingo), having been pretty generally applied to the West 

 Indian Black-whiskered Vireos. This is also probably the species meant 

 by Professor Poey's Cuban V. vircscens, and certainly the one whose eggs 

 Thienenmnn describes as those cf V. olivaceus. In 1666, Professor Baird 

 restricted the Linnaean name Motacilla calidris to the ordinary bird of 

 Jamaica, &c., adopting Cabanis's term barbatulus for the present species. 

 M. calidris appears in the 10th ed. 1758, 184, n. 2 ; as used in the 12th ed. 

 1766, 329, n. 2, it is compounded of Edwards^ plate 121, fig. 2, Sloane, Jam. 

 ii.299, Eay, 184, n. 27, and Briss. App. 101, though the balance of evidence 

 enables us to follow Baird in restricting the name. In 1872, 1 reduced bar- 

 batulm to the grade of a race of " altiloquus ", which course was endorsed 

 by Baird and Eidgway in 1874 ; and I now think it best to follow Baird in 

 his interpretation of the applicability of the Linnasan term calidris to the 

 stock-species.
