* N. B. The descriptions of the Warblers are so vague, and the figures 

 so bad, that it is almost impossible to determine the species. Each author 

 arranges them differently. The reader may, therefore, depend on our de- 

 scriptions, but not absolutely on our synonymy. 



It is, perhaps, needless to remind the reader that the above note of the 

 Baron applies only to the species he has mentioned, and not to those we 

 have ventured to insert in an inner margin. These, though it is hoped 

 they are correctly quoted in general, must be necessarily subject to no 

 small degree of uncertainty.— Ed.
