Various Florida Birds. 
As Linnaeus based his name on Catesby, the Florida bird is without a 
name for which we propose Cerchneis sjbarvcrius ftaulus. 
Campephilus principalis (Linn.). We are told by Prof. W. B. Minton 
of Kissimmee that this species is still to be found not far from that town. 
It is a pleasure to be able to still record the Ivory-billed Woodpecker’s 
presence in Florida. 
Sayornis phcebe (Lath.). That the southern Florida resident Phoebe 
is different from our northern Sayornis phoebe is apparent to the most 
casual observer. It is a darker bird with a very much larger bill. A 
difficulty at once arises in its study, however, on account of the impossi¬ 
bility of securing Cuban specimens for comparison, and as Gundlach’s* 
description of Sayornis lembeyei fits the Florida bird in most particulars 
it is impossible to at this time definitely settle the matter. 
Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.). When Mr. Outram Bangs described the 
northern race boreus he named the northern bird because he drew his 
line of separation north of South Carolina; Catesby’s type of crinitus 
coming from Carolina. We, however, consider that the line should have 
been drawn through northern Florida, which makes boreus become a 
synonym of crinitus and leaves the resident bird of southern Florida with¬ 
out a name. Of course the difficulty arises in that Catesby’s type was 
based on an intermediate. It is a well known fact that the fauna of Flor¬ 
ida south of a line drawn from Punta Gorda to Cape Canaveral is in 
many instances different from that of northern Florida and Georgia. 
South of this line many species represented by individuals, that are 
migrant as well as summer residents farther north, are residents, and the 
Crested Flycatcher is one of these. The main and a very sufficient char¬ 
acter of separation given by Mr. Bangs, “the swollen bill ” of the southern, 
as constrasted with the small and slender bill of the northern bird, is very 
marked even in a comparison between northern and southern Florida 
examples. For the southern bird we propose the name Myiarchus crini¬ 
tus residuusA ( Type , from Istopoga Lake, Fla. No. 1233, adult male, 
Howe-Shattuck collection. Collected by William Henry Phelps). 
Vireo noveboracensis (Gmel.), and Vireo noveboracensis maynardi 
Brewst. We were interested in noting in common with Mr.Torrey (Boston 
Transcript, “A Yankee in Florida,” V. Feb. 26, 1902, p. 13) an apparent 
difference in the song and habits of the Florida White-eyed Vireos as 
compared with northern birds, but a study of peninsular specimens proves 
the birds practically identical with northern examples. True maynardi 
seems confined to the Florida Keys. Key West though increasingly 
inhabited still offering as do the many other Keys, this race a home. 
Sialia sialis grata Bangs. We were much interested in studying the 
various peninsular races of Florida to determine whether these races were 
separable on any other grounds than slight color or other differences,
