Note. — The Black-whiskered Vireo, or " Whip-tom-kelly ", which occurs 

 in Florida, has been identified with the species of Cuba and the Bahamas, 



the first distinctive name of 

 which appears to be iaria- 

 tulus of Cabanis, 1855, ap- 

 plied to the Cuban bird. It 

 had before been well known, 

 under a variety of names, 

 even excluding those per- 

 taining to the other variety 

 (calidris of Jamaica, &c.). 

 Fig. 53.— Tireo barbatulus, natural size. jf y,Q may presume Nuttall 



to have meant this species, he called it V. lougirostris (Man. i. 2d ed. 1840, 

 359), supposing it to be the V. longirostris of Swainson, FBA. li. 1831, 237, 

 which, however, is the true V. altiloquus. Gambel attributed it to this coun- 

 try, under the erroneous name of V. altiloquus, which is the other variety 

 of Jamaica, &c. ( Vireosylvia altiloqua, Bp. CA. i. 1850, 320 ; Sol. PZS. 1861, 72 ; 

 March, Pr. Phila. Acad. 1863, 294). Some have also noticed it under the name 

 of Vireosylvia altiloqua — the original Museicapa altiloqua of Vieillot, OAS. 67, 

 pi. 38 (St. Domingo), having been pretty generally applied to the West 

 Indian Black-whiskered Vireos. This is also probably the species meant 

 by Professor Poey's Cuban V. virescens, and certainly the one whose eggs 

 Thienemann describes as those of V. oUvaceus. In 1666, Professor Baird 

 restricted the Liunseau name Motacilla calidris to the ordinary bird of 

 Jamaica, &c., adopting Cabauis's term bariatulus for the present species. 

 M. calidris appears in the 10th ed. 1758, 184, n. 2 ; as used in the 12th ed. 

 1766, 329, n. 2, it is compounded of Edward^s plate 121, fig. 2, Sloane, Jam. 

 ii. 299, iJoi/, 184, u. 27,and iJnss. App. 101, though the balance of evidence 

 enables us to follow Baird in restricting the name. In 1872, I reduced iar- 

 batulus to the grade of a race of " altiloquus ", which course was endorsed 

 by Baird and Eidgway in 1874 ; and I now think it best to follow Baird in 

 his interpretation of the applicability of the Linnjean term calidris to the 

 stock-species.
