Small-beaded Fly catcber of Wilson and Audubon. 



Small-beaded Sylvan Flycatcber, Nwit. 1. c. 1832. 



Hab. — "Eastern United States." — The above synonymy is nearly all mere 

 compilation, the several authors, excepting Wilson, Nattall, and Audubon, 

 not claiming to knovr the species. The existence of any such bird is doubt- 

 ful, and its reference to Myiodioetes by Baird and others is wholly conjectural. 

 Bonaparte first put it here, i. e., in his genus Wilsonia, but in 1850 queerly 

 identified it with Empidonax flaviventris of Baird. The history of the bird 

 begins with a misunderstanding between Wilson and Audubon, and the whole 

 record from that day to this is a tissue of surmises.
