No other bird-matter than Rimamphus citrinus, g. sp. n., p. 41, (Cf. Hartl., B. Z. viii, 1845, 

 p. 343; Baird, B. IST. A., 1858, p. 264. See also Journ. de Phys., Ixxsviii 1819, p. 418, where the 

 genus and species reappears, along with Helmitheros migraiorius, g. sp. n.)

 Columbia Kiver. <^Journ. Acad Nat. Sci. Phila., viii, 1839, pp. 149, 150. (Read

Claims priority for the name over that of S. macgillivrayi And., Orn. Biog., v. 1839, p. 75; 

 but actual priority of publication is with the latter. (See Baird, B. N. A., 1858, p. 245.) 



1842. Leib, G, C. [Note on Parus leucotis, Giraud.] < Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., i,

 Identified as Setofaga (sic) rubra. The bird is the Gardellina (Ergaticus) rubra of late 

 authors.

 Soc. Nat. Hist., iv, pt. iv, 1844, pp. 406-410. 



Taking habit as his guide, makes the bird out to be a Seiurus. The article is in effect an 

 argument against the importance of habit as a guide to classification, unless checked by inves- 

 tigation of physical characters.

 41; Journ. de Phys., Ixxxviii, 1819, p. 418) Tauteur croit reconnaitre la Motacilla [Dendrceca] 

 cestiva des auteurs ; et par consequent le genre Rhimamphus serait identique avec Sylvicola, 

 Sw., 1827. — 2. Helmilheros migratorius^ai. (loc. cit) estdeclar6 par Eaflnesque meme comme 

 identique avec la Sylvia vermivora de Latham, pour laquelle Swainson et Audubon ont cr66 

 les genres Yermivora (1827) et Helinaia (1839) : et Tauteur croit devoir reclamer la priorit6 en 

 faveur de Eafine.sque.
