Galeoscoptes carolinensis, Cat-bird, was a name early and 

 spontaneously decided upon for this Thrush, whose menving note 

 at once suggests it. Cat Flycatcher (Pennant), Merle Catbird, 

 Chat (Canada), Katsafogel (Penna. Germ.) and Zorzal gato 

 (Cuban), all ring changes upon this point; probably Bartram's 

 name Chicken-bird belongs to the same category. Color is 

 designated in Blackbird (Bermudas — where also it is properly 

 called Mockingbird), and in D'Orbigny's French name Merle 

 (1 derriere roi^x, — the Red vented Blackbird.
