VIREO GRISEUS GRISEUS (Bodd.). 
Muscicapa cantatrix Wils., 2, 1810, p. 166, pl. 18, fig. 6. 
M. C. Z. No. 67867. Although badly battered, this specimen 
appears to me to be the original of the portrait of Muscicapa cantatrix 
Wils. Even the ghastly stare of the white glass eye is caught in 
Wilson’s copy. The gape of the beak, too, is exactly the same. 
MNIOTILTA VARIA (Linn.). 
Certhia maculata Wils., 3, 1811, p. 23, pl. 19, fig. 3. 
M. C. Z. No. 67868. Wilson’s figured type, I doubt not. 
WILSONIA PUSILLA PUSILLA (Wils.). 
Muscicapa pusilla Wils., 3, 1811, p. 103, pl. 26, fig. 4. 
Sylvia wilsonti Bonap., Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 4, 1824, p. 179. 
M. C. Z. No. 67868. Probable type. 
SIALIA SIALIS SIALIS (Linn.). 
| M. C. Z. No. 67870. This specimen looks as if it had served as the 
pattern for Wilson’s beautiful and oft-copied portrait of the Bluebird, 
Seus, pl. 3, fig: 3. ;
