OBSERVATIONS 
On the greater number of the Birds, which are mentioned in the 
preceding Tables, f

* O RIO L U S phoenlceus. I cannot altogether admit of the propriety of placing this bird among the P/V^, 
as Linnceus and other naturalifts have done. The female appears to be an Einberiza, or Fringilla. This bird is 
the Sturniis predatorius of Mr. William Bartram* See his Travels, 
* Mufcicapa fufca. This is the Mufcicapa nunciola of Bartram* Travels, 
* Alauda rubra. The Alauda migratoria of Bartram* Travels* Alauda fufca of the fame gentleman* The fpe- 
cific name rubra is an improper one : for the bird has no red feathers. 
^ Alauda alpeftris. This is the Alauda campellris of Bartram. Travels, 
* Fringilla domeflica (mihi). Motacilia domeflica, or Regulus rufus of Bartram. Travels, In very mild winters, 
this focial domeftic little bird continues with us. It is the earlieft of our fpring fmging birds. Its note is tre¬ 
mulous and agreeable. Catefby has figured it, Vol. I. P. 35. 
* Fringilla ferruginea. I fufpeQ: this is the Fledge-Sparrow of Lawfon, P. 144. It is the Fringilla rufa of Bar¬ 
tram. Travels, Edwards calls it Little Sparrow. PI. 354. In New-York it is called the Shepherd. 
* Fringilla albicollis. Fringilla fufca of Bartram. Travels, 
* Fringilla melodia. In mild winters, this bird continues in Pennfylvania, affociating with the Snow-Birds- Does 
not appear to be defcribed. 
* Paffer paluftris of Bartram. This appears to be a fpecies of Fringilla. I do not find that it is defcribed. 
Fringilla exilis. This a good deal refembles the Motacilia Regulus, or Golden-crefted Warbler. Perhaps, they 
are the fame. 
* Fringilla triflis. In different parts of the United-States, this bird is,known by a variety of names, fuch as Gold- 
Finch, Yellow-Bird, Lettuce-Bird, Sallad-Bird, Flax-Seed-Bird. 
Sitta canadenfis. I have been miftaken in calling this the Sitta canadenfis. It is a diflindl fpecies: perhaps Le Tor- 
chepot de Canada of Briffon. Tom. 3. P. 592, 593, 594. PI. 29. Fig. 4. Sitta peregrina of Bartram. MS. 
Sitta varia, ventre rubro of Bartram. Travels, I think Mr. Pennant, to whom I fent a drawing and defcription 
of it, confidered it as a new fpecies. 
* Picus auratus. I am informed, that this bird is known, in Maryland, by the name of Difh-Waflier. Linnaus 
fays this fpecies does not climb trees 5 but this is a miflake: and it builds its neft, like the other fpecies, in the 
holes of trees. 
* Gracula Quifcula ? Several refpedable authors, and among others Mr. Pennant,| have confounded the bird thus 
noted in the Tables with the Gracula Quifcula of Linnaeus. But they are certainly diflind fpecies. I do not 
f Thofe fpecies which are known to breed in Pennfylvania are defignated by an afteriik.
