Note.— It may be worth while to look into the synonymy of the Blackburnian Warbler, 

 part of it being very problematical. The earliest conjectured name of the bird is the 

 "Figuier orangfi" of Baffon, figured on PL Enlum. 53, f. 3, under the name of "Figuier 

 stranger", and said to be from " Gniana". This is the solo basis of no less than three 

 binomial names— JfotociKa/twca Miiller, 1776, M. aurantia Bodd., 1783, and M. ckrysacephala 

 Gm., 1788, and also became the ''Orange-headed "Warbler" of Latham. The PI. Enlum. is 

 not clearly referable to the present species, nor are the descriptions identifiable with cer- 

 tainty. Miillei's runs as follows :— „55. Der Fliigelfleck, Motacilla fusca. Sie iat oben 

 braun, hat einen gelben Wirbel, und gelbe Augenringe. Die Brui-t ist roth, der Bauch 

 gelb,und dieFliigel sindmiteinemweissen Flecken gezeichnet, Bnfibn." Latham says: — 

 " Bill black: top and sides of the head, fore part and sides of the neck, fine orange : over 

 the eye a brown band ; beneath the eye a second, but paler : the upper parts of the body 

 and quills reddish brown: wing coverts black and white: breast and belly pale yellow: 

 tail black, edged with pale yellow : legs yellow." These terms are so discordant with
