(103) Mr. Baird sagt als Einleitung der Subfamilie- /eterinae: „in 
studying the North-American Orioles I have found it excee- 
dingly difficult t0 arrange them in any sharply defined sect- 
ions as whatever characters be taken as the basis of classi- 
fication, the other features will not correspond. Thus, spe- 
cies with the bill of the same proportions and’ amount of 
curvature differ in the shape and graduation of the tail, 
while tails of the same form are accompanied by entirely 
dissimilar bills and wings. The bill is sometimes much atte- 
nuated aud decurved, as in cucullatus, while in melanoce- 
phalus and bhaltimore it is stouter and straighter. The tail 
is usually much graduated; in /. baltimore and Bullocki it 
is only moderately rounded. These last mentioned species 
constitute the genus Yphantes etc. Nachher sagt er: In view 
ot the diffieulties attendant upon the definition of subordin- 
ate groups among the United States Jeterinae, 1 propose 
to consider them all under the single genus Icterus leaving 
it for some one with a fuller series of specimens at his 
command to establish satisfactory divisions into genera.
