DENDROICA, Orat. 



Sylvicola, Gray, Genera, 2d ed. 1841, 32 (not of Humphrey or SwAixgoit). 

 Dendroica, Gray, Genera, Appeudix, 1842, 8. (Type Sijlvia coronato, 



Latu.). 

 "Flcedula, Cvv. 1799-1800" (not of Mcbhbiso, 1752). 

 Rhimamphus, Uartlacb, Rev. Zool. 1845, 342 (not of Rafinesque). 



The genus Dendroica is represented by a very large number of 

 species, which vary somewhat in external form, but passing so in- 

 sensibly from one into the other as to render it exceedingly difficnlt 

 to subdivide them. They may, perhaps, be most convenientlv 

 grouped by their colors, as has been done in " Birds of North Ame- 

 rica," to which I would refer, as also for general remarks. Nearly 

 all the species belong to the United States, going southwanl in 

 winter ; several are peculiar to Cuba, Jamaica, or Porto Rico, one to 

 the West Indies generally, and three to Contra! and South America.
